The upcoming fifth and final season of the CW’s iZombie has cast Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in a supporting role, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
iZombie’s fifth season will premiere on The CW sometime in 2019.
Abdul-Jabbar is no stranger to acting, though he’ll probably be best-remembered playing himself in the 1980 disaster satire Airplane!
The series also stars Malcolm Goodwin (Breakout Kings) as Clive Babineaux, Rahul Kohli as Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, Robert Buckley (One Tree Hill) as Major Lilywhite and David Anders (The Vampire Diaries) as Blaine DeBeers.
