Like Rob Thomas’ cancelled series, Veronica Mars, his iZombie TV show has lived its (un-) life high atop the cancellation—renewal bubble. While this undead medical examiner has yet to surpass the teen P.I.’s episode count, she now has more seasons under her belt. Still, the ratings dropped sharply last year, and now the show has moved from Tuesdays to Mondays. At this point, we’re left wondering when it will bottom out. Will iZombie be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned.
Inspired by the Chris Roberson—Michael Allred comic book series, iZombie stars Rose McIver as zombie/medical examiner Liv Moore. The CW “rom-com-zom-dram” also stars Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley, and David Anders. When Liv eats the brains of a deceased person, she temporarily inherits some traits from the person and gains insight into how he or she died. Pretending that she has psychic abilities, Liv then uses this knowledge to help the police solve crimes. **Status updates below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The third season of iZombie averaged a 0.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 870,000 total viewers. It was down by more than 41% and 34%, compared to the season two ratings.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
