In a world the place revivals, reboots, and sequels are taking on, one can not help however marvel if iZombie‘s story might additionally proceed, however former star Rahul Kohli is not so certain concerning the thought. Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright’s supernatural procedural drama ran for 5 seasons and 71 episodes on The CW. It led to August 2019. Since then, there have not been any murmurs about bringing the present again. Nonetheless, that does not imply an iZombie revival is totally out of the realm of chance. It is simply unbelievable, as Kohli identified.

Throughout an interview with ScreenRant‘s Tessa Smith for Kohli’s new collection, Prime Video’s We Had been Liars, Smith requested the actor a couple of hypothetical iZombie revival.

It is so uncommon these days that you simply get to complete in your phrases. Nonetheless, if everybody, together with, uh, so if each member of the, of the forged and Rob and Diane and the entire staff got here again collectively for a particular or a movie, in fact I might, however I will be much more costly this time.

The Possibilities Of A Revival Are Low

As Kohli talked about in his interview with ScreenRant, the iZombie forged and crew received the possibility to finish their story on their phrases. Most TV exhibits do not get that privilege. Maybe Rob Thomas will get hit with a bout of inspiration that convinces him to return to the supernatural procedural drama’s world. Nonetheless, till that occurs, nobody ought to mess with the unique ending. Sure, the collection finale is controversial, but it surely wrapped up the story.
