Some people had low expectations for iZombie, a TV show that premiered so late in the 2014-15 season. Despite the late start, the series did pretty well in the ratings and out-performed many established shows on The CW. Will the ratings rise or fall in season two? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned to find out.
Loosely based on a comic book series, iZombie revolves around an over-achieving medical resident (Rose McIver) who ends up as a zombie. She’s able to keep her new condition a secret from her loved ones and, thanks to knowledge gained from dining on cadaver brains, is also able to help the police solve murders. The rest of the cast includes Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley, and David Anders.
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.
3/11 update: The CW has renewed this TV show and 10 others for the 2016-17 season.
4/13 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The first season of iZombie averaged a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.755 million total viewers.
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.

I love this show!!!
I love this show. It’s a cute Zombie movie. I hope it does not get cancelled
Please do not cancel Izombie! Definitely want to see season 3, 4, 5 etc. It’s truly a great show! This show has everything: fun, love, crime solving, horror, sarcasm, friendship that is so interesting and addicting to watch! Especially when unxpected things keep happening that just makes you want to know more & more of what happens next. Also love this beautiful chemistry between these great actors who play Liv and Major! Kind of twisted Romeo & Juliet storyline mixed with everything else. Great job to people who created this show and keep creating it, as well as, the actors… Read more »

2/2 was a 0.549 in the demo and 2/9 was a 0.547. Both round to a 0.55.

I zombies fan please keep watching the show its amazing
I wonder if iZombie benefited from the Netflix effect, as viewers had a chance to catch up on the first season.
iZombie started on Netflix the day Season 2 started.
Meaning I wonder if viewers tuned in from week 4 onward after they caught up – it would explain the dip and then uptick in the ratings.
I tuned in on the 3rd episode of season 2 after watching the first season on netflix, So very very possible. Love this show!
