The television adaptation of “iZombie” was first announced back in November, and now The CW has officially ordered a pilot episode according to a report from Variety.

“Veronica Mars” creator Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero will executive produce the series which sees a med student-turned-zombie working in a coroner’s office. In order to maintain her humanity she’ll be forced to dine on the brains of the deceased, but in doing so she will absorb their memories and use it to solve their murders, among other crimes.

Currently there is no word how far the television series will follow the source text. The novels tend to venture  into supernatural territories such as when the main character Gwen partners up with a ghost, a mummy, a were-dog, and a group of vampires.

The book series was created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred.
