+++Warning, this will contain spoilers from the prior seasons, but no major giveaways from season 3 ++++
The 13-episode third season of iZombie aired during the spring and summer of 2017. The season picks up right after the end of the second season finale, when the soldiers enter to clean up the mess of the Max Rager party turned zombie fest. In the first episode, we learn that they are part of a Zombie-led organization called Fillmore-Graves, which is preparing for the day when humans en masse learn of the existence of zombies.
For the main characters, the season is about the fallout from past events, especially now that the entire group knows the truth. Major deals with the fallout from the revelation that he is the "chaos killer." Blaine has to deal with being human again and attempting to start over, and Ravi is working toward perfecting the cure. For Liv (and all the other characters) the season is about taking a side in the humans vs zombies confrontation. As is the case with the prior seasons, the show is mainly a case-of-the-week procedural, with larger serial story arcs that play throughout. The big one is the humans becoming more and more aware of the existence of zombies, told through a group of conspiracy wingnuts. As is also the norm, Liv takes on a range of personalities (again brilliantly done by Rose McIver), and the show alternates between funny, sad, and dramatic, all on a dime. The writing and acting are all top-notch, and the show packs a lot into a limited number of episodes.
The Blu-Ray set is a three-disc set and is one of the Warner Archives' made-on-demand (MOD) releases. Unlike many other MOD sets, they include closed captions and some extras. Those consist of deleted scenes for select episodes and about 30 minutes of the comic-con panel discussion with some of the cast and writers. There are not a ton of extras, but they are good for what is there.

This is also the last season of the show to get an official release. There are two additional seasons, but because of a licensing issue with season 4, it will not be released at all. So Warner just decided not to release the fourth season, the fifth season, or a complete series set. Whether that will change in the future, who knows. But to see the final seasons, you either have to stream them or try to find bootlegs.
