The new season of “iZombie” will find Liv making an unlikely alliance with Blaine. The Rob Thomas-produced series will also beefed up Clive’s storyline as the new bunch of episodes uncork more details about his personal life.
Series star David Anders revealed in an report from MTV that his villainous character, Blaine, will work together with Rose McIver’s Liv this fall. “They’re going to put aside their past, so that they may see their rocky future for a bit,” the actor said. He also teased a frenemy angle between the duo that could develop into something bigger. “They have to be teammates, but they don’t have to be friends. That’s where they’re at. But who knows!” he continued.
Det. Clive Babineaux will also be given more focus in the forthcoming second season of “iZombie”. In an interview with TV Line, creator/showrunner Rob Thomas has previewed what’s ahead for the hardworking detective. Thomas revealed that fans of the show will get to know more about Clive’s personal life. "There’s a joke in Season 2 where Liv says, “I didn’t even know you had a home life. I just think you went into your Detective Clive box at the end of the day.” But this year, we’re going to see a little bit of Clive’s home life,” the executive producer said.
What’s more, Clive’s obsession was also hashed out by Thomas – hinting that Clive will be hell bent on finding out what happened at Meat Cute. “His white whale is trying to figure out what happened at Meat Cute. The police department has decided it happened one way, and Clive doesn’t agree with his peers, and between us and whoever you’re writing to, Clive is more right than the official story.”
In other developments, the hit CW series has snagged retired basketball player Rick Fox to guest star in an episode. Fox will portray the character named Calvin Harris who interacts with Liv and Clive in a wake scene. The casting news was first reported by People.
"iZombie" season 2 bows on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 9PM on the CW.
