Creator Rob Thomas already has plans for a fourth season of his iZombie TV show, but will the supernatural procedural make it past its third season? Although it performed well enough to snag a season three renewal, the ratings did drop off quite a bit between its first and second installments. Will the numbers rise or fall further this year? Should iZombie be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned.
Loosely based on a comic book series, iZombie stars Rose McIver as zombie/medical examiner Liv Moore. The CW cast also includes Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley, David Anders, and Aly Michalka. In season three, Liv now knows there are more zombies in Seattle than she once thought. A private military contractor is building up a zombie army, to prepare for the day when humans realize zombies truly exist. This season will find Liv eating the brains of a dominatrix, a “Jackass” style stunt man, an office gossip, a pre-school teacher, a conspiracy theorist, a dungeon master, and more, and taking on their traits.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly 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.
6/28 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The second season of iZombie averaged a 0.53 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.330 million total viewers. It was down by 19.04% and 24.21%, compared to the season one 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.
What do you think? Do you like the iZombie TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
5/10 update: The CW has renewed iZombie for a fourth season. Details here.
I honestly love iZombie. I’m excited to see what they’ll do on the 4th season so I really hope there is one. Also Chase Graves is bae.
I think they really ruined a really good show. Doubtful I will watch next year. It was a a really good show
when it started.
It should so be renewed
It should definitely be renewed.
This season upped their game. It seems these characters found their home in these actors. ♡ This is one entertaining series….I lol and lol and lol some more…season 1 we started out as friends, season 2 we definitely became smitten and this season a love affair is blossoming. I don’t usually kiss and tell, but I think I need to concerning this romance.
PLEASE don’t cancel one of the best shows I’ve watched in quite a while. I love the cast and the storyline. iZombie is something I look forward to seeing-it helps keep my mind off what’s going on in the “real” world. I love it even when Liv eats / whips up her meals of brains and the different ways she cooks them up is amazing lol. <3
The ratings aren’t great, but considering that the CW renewed Crazy ex Girlfriend with a 0.20, I wouldn’t worry yet. I’m rooting for the show also.
Thats exactly how I feel !
Love this show. God please let it keep going to season 4 an 5 and on and on. If supernatural can go on an on izombie can. What a great show!!!!!!.
It will be canceled soon.
Wait and see dropping out of audiences.
I really enjoyed this show, unfortunately, hulu does not air this program anymore. Looks like I’m going to miss the whole season.
The current season will be on Netflix 8 days after the season finale.
Love this show. Glad to see it reached Season Three, hope it goes on to four.
Just discovered this show and we watched 3 episodes in one night. Would be 4, but my husband is falling asleep. Hoping we catch up and that it comes back for a 4th season.
I love this show!
This is one of the shows that CW got it right. Rose is as cute as heck and there’s underlying humor throughout the gore . They know how to adapt a comic book. I like it.
A 0.40 is still good enough for renewal on the CW. Don’t anybody fret yet.
Please cancel this bull ****, I just watched S1 and dislike it much, Even its comic book is void.
no one asked you to watch it- don’t ruin it for others or maybe something you like will get the axe next time 😛
Are you serious ??!!
You clearly have a axe to grind as you keep posting negative comments. You sound like a troll.
