iZombie is the zombie-themed police procedural show you need to be watching.
The CW’s genre-hopping show from the creator of Veronica Mars is a lot of fun!!!

The CW has given iZombie, season 3, an official premiere date. The zom-com will be premiering on Tuesday the 4th of April 2017 at 8pm. It will be a two-hour season premiere, with the second episode of the season airing directly after the season debut

At the end of the iZombie’s excellent second season, Liv (Rose McIver) discovers the size of Seattle’s zombie population is actually much larger than she and Ravi (Rahul Kohli) had initially realized. According to co-creator Rob Thomas, a great deal of Season 3 (Tuesday, April 4 at 8/7c on The CW) will be focused on the private military contractors Fillmore Graves Enterprises and the role zombies play within the rest of the world. “There’s not just the 30 zombies in town that you know of. There’s an entire zombie military outfit bent on making the world safe for zombies if the day comes when they’re found out,” Thomas said during the show’s panel at the Television Critics Association winter previews on Sunday. “So there are a lot more zombies walking around in the world, and the questions are… Is it better to be a zombie? And are you a higher functioning creature?

Quynh Mi books Anthology series “Nightmare Time“.

TBS has given a pilot order to Nightmare Time, a comedy horror anthology from Parks And Recreation alum Aubrey Plaza.

Written by Plaza, Darcy Fowler, Kieran Valla, and Seth Kirschner, Nightmare Time is set in Aubrey Plaza’s Nightmare Clinic, where celebrity guests check in to overcome recurring nightmares.

Every episode features two insane nightmares, inspired by the horrors of modern society and uses tropes and touchstones of the horror genre to guide audiences through its absurd universe. Thanks to advanced technology, we’re able to peer into their restless minds, and witness their nightmares in real time. But what is “real” anyway? Maybe it’s all just a nightmare in Aubrey’s mind. One endless nightmare that could eventually destroy her and the entire world.

Plaza, who is a series regular on FX’s X-Men-themed drama series Legion, will guest star in the pilot and executive produce.
