The CW gave the pilot order for a supernatural crime series based on a DC Comic titled “iZombie”. The project comes from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas and “Mars” writer/producer, Diane Ruggiero.
Synopsis:
“A med student-turned-zombie takes a job in the coroner’s office to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity, but with each brain she consumes, she inherits the corpse’s memories. With the help of her medical examiner boss and a police detective, she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing voices in her head.”
