‘iZombie’ Mourns Rob Thomas in First Season 3 Premiere Clip

You’re not crazy, but Rob Thomas is definitely a little unwell. The late Matchbox 20 singer’s fate gets name-checked in a first official clip from next week’s iZombie Season 3 premiere, as all Team Z’s secrets are brought to light.

Our first clip from next Tuesday’s “Heaven Just Got A Little Smoother” picks up shortly after the Season 2 finale (Major’s even still wearing his riot gear), as the group gathers at Liv’s place to lay all their cards on the table. In addition to poor Rob Thomas’ end, and the impending zombification of Seattle, said secrets also include Peyton’s merficully brief fling with Blaine.

Here’s how The CW describes next week’s premiere:

YOUR FAVORITE ZOM-COM-ROM-DRAM IS BACK FOR SEASON 3 — Liv (Rose McIver) has discovered there are more zombies living in Seattle than she previously believed. In fact, there’s a private military contractor employing a small zombie army, and that army is preparing for the day humans learn of their existence. Major (Robert Buckley) was exonerated for the crimes of the Chaos Killer, but is still considered a pariah. He manages to land a job with the one and only place that will hire him. Meanwhile, Blaine (David Anders) is accused of lying.

And the overall synopsis:

In the third season, Liv has discovered there are more zombies living in Seattle than she previously believed. In fact, there is a private military contractor employing a small zombie army, and that army is preparing for the day humans learn of their existence. Major finds a job and acceptance in this army.

Liv and Clive investigate the murder of a zombie family that may just set off an all-out zombie-human war. Ravi’s former boss at the Center for Disease Control shows up in Seattle to investigate the Max Rager massacre. Blaine finds living as a human with no memory of his evil past is more blessing than curse. Peyton pulls at a thread in one of her cases that may lead to the villain that’s pulling all the strings.

This season, Liv will eat the brains and take on the traits of a dominatrix, a JACKASS-style stunt man, an office gossip, a pre-school teacher, a conspiracy theorist, a dungeon master, and many more.
