A few days ago when another actor joined The CW's "iZombie" pilot, we wondered when they'd land their lead actress, and now we wonder no longer as word has come that it will be Rose McIver ("Once Upon a Time," "Masters of Sex").
Per Deadline, New Zealand native McIver will play med student-turned-zombie Olivia “Liv” Moore, who 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.
McIver joins the previously announced Robert Buckley, Malcolm Goodwin, Alexandra Krosney, and David Anders in the project .

The CW has yet to cast the female lead in its pilot for "iZombie," but another male actor has joined the fray as Robert Buckley ("One Tree Hill," "666 Park Avenue") signs on to play a character named Major.
You may recall that "iZombie" is a supernatural crime procedural that centers on Liv, a med student-turned-zombie who 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.
Per THR, Buckley's Major is Liv's former fiancé, who is trying to transition back to being her friend despite still being in love with her. He's a former college football player-turned-environmental engineer who is extremely likable.

The CW is powering through its pilot season, going out of its way to give three projects pilot orders. These specific three have been on pretty much everyone’s radar; particularly those of us who pay close attention to every little move the CW makes. There shouldn’t be any disappointment from anyone. If you are disappointed by the decision to go ahead with these pilots, just keep it to yourself and secretly hope they don’t make it to series.
First up, THR reported the CW is moving forward with Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas’s iZombie. The project is based on characters created by Chris Robertson and Michael Allred and appearing in the Vertigo (a DC Comics imprint) comic book. iZombie is a supernatural crime procedural about a medical-student-turned-zombie who takes a job at a coroner’s office to gain access to the brains she needs in order to keep her humanity.

Most news coverage of San Diego Comic-Con is saturated with celebrity sightings and Hollywood movies. Magazines report on ridiculous cosplay, digital spectacle, and the publicity tidal wave of Hall H. But on the floor, the experience is different. There are stories on every corner that have nothing to do with film promotion; there are passions that bypass traditional t-shirt bargains and get straight to the meat of what comics are about; there are people who wait all year before finally getting the chance to have a serious discussion about Swamp Thing. This blog is about them. Posted in reverse chronological order (most recent post is at the top of the page).
Saturday P.M. Darick Robertson, on his collaboration with Grant MorrisonHAPPY: “It’s a crime noir setting that takes a crazy twist. It’s about a guy named Nick Satz, an ex-cop turned hitman. In the midtime, it’s a Christmas story.
