‘iZombie’ Season 2 Casts ‘Prison Break’ Star Robert Knepper! Who Will He Play?

Executive producer Rob Thomas previously teased family drama to ensue for "iZombie" season 2.

Liv's (Rose McIver) dad, while absent in the first season, will reportedly be introduced when the show returns this Fall.

"We have been talking about Season 2 as being the Season of Dads," Thomas previously teased TV Line about the show's second instalment. "We might meet several people's dads in Season 2, including [Liv and Evan's]."

Apparently, Blaine (David Anders) will be one of these "several people" whose father the audience will get to meet.

According to Entertainment Weekly, "Prison Break" star Robert Knepper on as Blaine's father in "iZombie" season 2. As expected, he won't be the cuddly dad who will help him out in his time of need.

Previously known for his work in "Heroes" and "The Flash," Knepper will be playing Angus. He's described as "a rich, accomplished businessman who has financially supported his disappointing son for years" by TV Line.

Viewers will get to meet him early on when the reluctantly cured zombie approaches him for some cash once again.

It's still unclear if he will play a vital role in the series but his character will certainly help viewers understand Blaine a little bit more when "iZombie" season 2 returns on Oct. 6.

On the other hand, casting for Liv's own father hasn't been announced yet. The only thing that's certain at this time is that his dad will reportedly have a "neat" back story.

"We kept him intentionally unmentioned because we hadn't worked out how we wanted to bring him in or what we wanted to do with him," the showrunner continued to explain about Liv's dad. "We have a desire to do it, and I think we have a neat backstory on their dad."

He might be introduced during Evan's funeral, which Thomas and McIver recently let slip would die in the upcoming second season. In turn, Liv's refusal to give her brother her tainted blood will put her at odds with her family.
