Casting news has come in for the upcoming pilot for the DC Comics adaptation of iZombie for the CW network. Robert Buckley (One Tree Hill) has signed on to star in the pilot from Warner Bros. Television. Read on for more details.
According to The Wrap, Robert Buckley (pictured) has been cast on The CW pilot “iZombie” from “Veronica Mars” creator Rob Thomas’ production company and Warner Bros. Television.
The project follows 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.
Buckley will play Major, the former fiancé of Liv, who has yet to be cast. Major is trying to make the transition to friend — despite still being in love with her. A former college football player-turned-environmental engineer, Major is perfect in an awe-inspiring, non-annoying way.
He joins Malcolm Goodwin, Alexandra Krosney and David Anders on the supernatural drama project.
“iZombie” is based on the comic book characters created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred, and published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.
