'iZombie' Creators Talk Tone of New CW Show: 'More Buffy, Less Veronica Mars'

Rose McIver gets a cute hug from co-star David Anders during the iZombie press line during the 2014 San Diego Comic Con held at the Hard Rock Hotel on Friday night (July 25).

The two were joined by Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley and creators/exec producers Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright.

Rob dished about the tone of the show and comparisons to Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars.

Diane and I have a similar aesthetic in our shows and our dramas have a sense of humor. So I think tonally, we’ll live in that (Veronica Mars) world. iZombie is clearly dialed up with more action. Sometimes fans put Veronica and Buffy The Vampire Slayer in the same category and I would say that this is closer to Buffy,” he shared.

Diane added, “Liv is less snarky than Veronica Mars.”
