 Just a day after releasing an updated press release for the series, the CW has offered up a premiere date and trailer for iZombie.  The show will premiere Tuesday, March 17th (presumably following The Flash) and judging by the tone of the trailer will have a very similar tone to Executive Producer Rob Thomas’ previous series, Veronica Mars. In fact, the trailer points out the link. No doubt they hope to draw in that fan base, considering they were loyal enough to fund a follow-up movie via kickstarter a few years back.  The trailer also hints at the mystery-of-the-week formula of the series. In addition to posting the trailer, cbr.com…

The CW’s panel at the Television Critics Association winter press tour is taking place today, and the network has just announced its early renewals for the 2015-2016 season.

Thus, The CW’s iteration of the DC Universe will have…

This is an animated series, rather than live action. It has been confirmed that Vixen – who was a member of the likes of the Justice League and…
