With iZombie TV show premiere date still unknown, many are are eager to know more about the show. Good thing, McIver is willing to oblige. In an interview with TV Line, the actress known for her roles in Once Upon a Time and Masters of Sex shared some pivotal info about her role and the hardest part her character will have to face.
"It's the most heartbreaking part," McIver told TV Guide (via the iZombie podcast) about the presence of Olivia's fiancee Major Lilywhite (to be played by Robert Buckley).
"Liv's so scared of infecting him with zombie-ism."
McIver said earlier her character has some skills that she can use while dealing with zombies and those who want to kill the 'undead.'
"There are languages she can suddenly speak and physical things, like fight skills, she can suddenly do that are fairly intimidating," McIver admitted. "Each time I get a new script, I'm like, 'Gosh, they're going to want me to be a concert pianist one of these days.' But as an actor, it's so appealing to do something different every week."
Aside from McIver and Buckley, iZombie TV show will also feature David Anders from "Once Upon a Time" and "Alias," Nora Dunn from "Entourage," Malcolm Goodwin from "Breakout Kings" and Rahul Kohli.
