iZombie executive producers Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright are betting everything on a back-nine order for Season 2 (currently capped at 13 episodes), after revealing, via THR, that they are structuring the upcoming season as if they already have a 22-episode order:
“I am betting on success!” Thomas tells The Hollywood Reporter. “If we only get 13 episodes, we are going to be in big trouble. I’m structuring this season like we’re doing 22. If we don’t get a back-nine order and end up only doing 13, it will just feel like the water cut off midstream. So we’re putting a little extra spice on that 13th episode and hoping for the best. If not … well, let’s just say the fans would not be happy where we leave off.”
“Episode nine is our episode before we go on our six-week break for Christmas,” [Ruggiero-Wright] tells THR. “That’s our midseason finale and it’s a pretty big episode, and then 13 will also be a big episode. But we’re breaking for 22 episodes since we’re cocky bastards. And I saved [Warner Bros. boss] Peter Roth and [The CW boss] MarkPedowitz‘s lives more than once, so I feel pretty confident.”
