The CW Moves Supernatural, Sets Premiere Dates for iZombie and The Messengers


Hey you! Put down the brains you're eating for breakfast, because you're going to want to use both hands to celebrate this news: The CW has finally announced premiere dates for its new midseason dramas iZombie and The Messengers.

From Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, the highly anticipated iZombie will debut Tuesday, March 17 at 9pm after The Flash. Based on the comic book of the same name, the show stars Rose McIver as a medical student who takes a job in a morgue after she becomes a zombie. The new gig puts her in close proximity to the brains she needs to survive, but each time she chows down on the squishy pink stuff, she acquires a few aspects of the deceased's personality, as well as some of the person's memories, which she uses to help a cop figure out how they died.

But if iZombie is going to air on Tuesdays after The Flash, what does that mean for Supernatural? The often-killed but seemingly immortal Winchesters will return to their former home of Wednesdays at 9pm beginning March 18, after The 100 wraps up its second season on March 11.

The Messengers will debut Friday, April 10 at 9pm, after Hart of Dixie wraps up its fourth season. The series chronicles what happens when a mysterious object crashes to Earth and a group of five seemingly unconnected strangers die from the energy pulse, only to reawaken with extraordinary "gifts." They soon discover that they're now the Angels of the Apocalypse, and they've been assigned the task of preventing the impending rapture.
