'iZombie' season 3 release date, cast news, plot spoilers: Air date confirmed; everyone to finally be on the same team

The air date in the U.S. for "iZombie" season 3 has already been confirmed. The season will feature a team-up of all the major characters in "iZombie" to fight for one cause and to fight against the big bad.

It was confirmed that "iZombie" has been picked up for a third season, although many fans were disappointed that it the show did not air this year on The CW. Apparently, there were a lot of shows lined up on the network that pushed back "iZombie" and a couple of other shows, such as "The Originals" and "Reign," to a 2017 release date.

The title has been slated for a release date. According to Entertainment Weekly, "iZombie" season 3 will premiere on Tuesday, April 4, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW. The premiere is expected to be jam-packed with a lot of events and surprises since it is said to be a two-hour season special.

After the season premiere, "iZombie" will move to the 9 p.m. time slot, following "The Flash" still on Tuesdays.

"iZombie" season 3 is expected to pick up after the events that took place in the previous season, where Vivian Stoll (Andrea Savage) has unleashed a new world order where zombies will rule the world, starting with Seattle.

In an interview with SciFiNow, executive producer Diane Ruggiero-Wright shared what Vivian will bring to the table in season 3.

"Vivian is the head of this military, private contractor, black water-esque company called Fillmore Graves. This organisation believes that people are going to find out about it soon, and the zombies that are already living in Seattle need to be ready," Ruggiero-Wright explained.

She also added that she's excited for season 3 because everyone is finally playing on the same team, now that Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) knows that his partner, Liv (Rose McIver), is a zombie.

Goodwin shared with TV Line what his character is really thinking about the reality of zombies, including Liv being one of them.

"Clive focuses on the task at hand, which is, 'Let's stop this apocalypse. Then we'll really, really deal with all these other issues.' That's consistent with his personality," explained Goodwin.

"iZombie" season 3 premieres on Tuesday, April 4, at 8 p.m. EDT on The CW.
