"iZombie" season 3 is still a long ways off, but fans are most definitely wondering what the coming season has in store for them. At the red carpet of The CW's "Upfront," the star of the series, Rose McIver, dished out a few details about what awaits their viewers.

In an interview with TVLine, McIver, who plays Liv, shared some information on her zombie character's romantic future. Apparently, her love life may be at a standstill this season, as no one seems to want to be her love interest anymore, based on what happened to her season 1 and 2 boyfriends. Check out the video below.

Fans know that Lowell (played by Bradley James) and Drake (played by Greg Finley) both died in their respective seasons. In season 3, Major (played by Robert Buckley) appears to be the most probable love interest. According to McIver, she loves that her Liv and Major stuck by each other through everything, and if they do start a relationship, it could be awesome since they started off as friends.

"It's a really complicated thing — she's grieving two dead boyfriends," she said in the interview. "It's not that easy to jump straight back in with Major. I think they're really great for each other, and ... they love each other."

McIver likewise shared that "iZombie's" next season would introduce a new villain in the person of Vivian (played by Andrea Savage). She described Vivian as a "dodgy character" and said that she can't say for certain where Liv's allegiance lies and whether she would support Vivian in her plan to make Seattle the "zombie capital" of the world or not.

Meanwhile, TVInsider has shared the news season 3 will see Aly Michalka, who plays Liv's best friend Peyton, become a series regular. Michalka merely played a recurring role through the first two years of the series, but as Liv's BFF, her role has somewhat become an integral part of the story. She would also figure in an unconventional love triangle with Blaine (David Anders) and Ravi (Rahul Kohli).

"iZombie" season 3 will premiere on The CW in early 2017.
