Rose McIver's New Show 'iZombie' is Different Than the Comic Books

Rose McIver keeps all her traveling essentials in hand while touching down at Vancouver International Airport on Monday (January 12) in Vancouver, Canada.

The 26-year-old actress is back in town to continue filming her upcoming CW show iZombie.

“We didn’t hew terribly closely to the source material,” executive producer Rob Thomas recently said (via EW). “In the zombie comic-book, there’s a whole monster universe [with] ‘were-terriers’ and ghosts. We wanted to stay strictly zombie, so we only have zombies in the show. We really needed a story engine. We wanted to do a case-of-the-week show. In the comic book, the character is a grave digger and that’s how she gets her brains. By making her a medical examiner working in the morgue, it gave us our case of the week.”
