"iZombie" concluded its second season with a show-stopping finale. And now that the series has been renewed for a third season, it is exciting to think about what the writers will have in store for the characters. But without an official release date being announced as of late, fans will have to wait indefinitely. However, the current speculation is that "iZombie" season 3 will start airing in late 2016 (sometime in October) or early 2017.

So what will season 3 bring to the table?

According to reports, a love triangle is brewing between Peyton (Aly Michalka), Blaine (David Anders) and Ravi (Rahul Kohli). The romantic aspect of the show was always something that fans loved about it. Peyton has been with both guys, but it was somewhat clear that she had always felt more attracted to Blaine than to Ravi. With Blaine's newfound persona due to the effects of the cure, Peyton might find herself falling for him once again.

Moreover, Liv (Rose McIver) may find herself questioning her purpose. She had always helped Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) solve murder cases by eating brains, but she's not the only one capable of that. Meanwhile, the upcoming season might see more of Major (Robert Buckley) dealing with his new zombified self.

In other news, there's also the possibility of Michalka being promoted to a regular on the show. Her character is a well-loved one and now that she has shacked up once again with Liv, viewers may see more of her. But fans aren't the only ones hoping for more Peyton.

"I will say I love Aly and we're a better show when Aly is in it. ... Certainly, if we had all the money in the world she would be a series regular. I wish she were now. We hold our breath each pilot season hoping no one takes away from us. When she left all of the sudden last year, she did a pilot and we didn't know if we'd be getting her back," creator Rob Thomas told TVGuide. "I'd love nothing better than if she were a series regular."
