The CW announced yesterday that it has ordered a fourth season of the hit drama IZOMBIE as well as a fifth season of THE ORIGINALS. The network turned to Twitter to share the renewal news:

In iZOMBIE, Olivia "Liv" Moore was a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who had her life path completely mapped out...until the night she attended a party that unexpectedly turned into a zombie feeding frenzy.

In THE ORIGINALS, family is power. The Original Vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together, always and forever. Now, centuries have passed, and the bonds of family are broken. Time, tragedy and hunger for power have torn the Original Family apart. Klaus Mikaelson, the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, has returned to New Orleans, the city his family helped build, the city from which he and his siblings - Elijah and Rebekah - were exiled a century ago by their RELENTLESS hunter father. Drawn back by a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him in the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter, Klaus is surprised that the city still feels like home to him despite the decades he's been away.

The series stars Joseph Morgan ("The Vampire Diaries," "Immortals") as Klaus, Daniel Gillies ("The Vampire Diaries," "Saving Hope") as Elijah, Claire Holt ("The Vampire Diaries," "Pretty Little Liars") as Rebekah, Phoebe Tonkin ("The Vampire Diaries," "The Secret Circle") as Hayley, Charles Michael Davis ("Grey's Anatomy," "Switched at Birth") as Marcel, Daniella Pineda ("Homeland," "The Fitzgerald Family Christmas") as Sophie, Leah Pipes ("The Deep End," "Sorority Row") as Cami, and Danielle Campbell ("Prison Break," "Starstruck") as Davina.
