Meanwhile, the crew meet Blackbeard and prepare to buckle their swash in the trailer for next week’s episode, “The Curse of the Earth Totem”.


iZombie

In conversation with Screen Rant, Rose McIver stated season four will see multiple “nuanced shades of Big Bad”.

There are multiple Big Bads, but they’re not Big Bads as such. They’re sort of nuanced shades of Big Bad and different kinds that antagonize different portions of the zombie or human populations. And then we have Blaine who is continuously sort of this Big Bad that, for many reasons, Liv has to keep at bay…because they have a lot of common friends and common enemies and it’s a very challenging position for her to be in. I think she still struggles with that because she clearly hates him and everything that he’s sort of done to her and the people she loves. But he also can help her; he has friends in high places and she kind of has to dance between those two things quite a lot


Ash vs the Evil Dead

Finally, the latest promo reimagines the series as a ’70s sitcom. Just, you know… with more blood?
