iZombie's Rob Thomas explains why the vampire drama's series finale was so different from Veronica Mars

Entertainment Weekly

"I think this one is more apt to make fans excited than Veronica Mars," said Thomas, who co-created The CW's iZombie with Diane Ruggiero-Wright, in an interview with EW. "But with Veronica Mars, because I imagined that show was going to go on and we were going to continue to do more mysteries, I wasn’t building that as the grand ending of the series, whereas I was on iZombie. The closest I had ever thought I was writing the end of the entire Veronica Mars universe was when I wrote the movie." Thomas also explained if it was the finale he had always envisioned. "The broad strokes remain the same," he said. ALSO: Thomas almost went with Dax Shepard instead of Chris Lowell.
