The all-new limited series event CONTAINMENT premieres Tuesday, April 19 (9:00-10:00 pm ET/PT), paired with The CW's number one series THE FLASH. When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly enforced, forcing those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives while local and federal officials desperately search for a cure. Based on the original Belgian series "Cordon," created by Carl Joos for Eyeworks, CONTAINMENT is produced by My So-Called Company in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Julie Plec ("The Vampire Diaries," "The Originals"), Matt Corman ("Covert Affairs") and Chris Ord ("Covert Affairs"). A week earlier, IZOMBIE will conclude its sophomore season with back to back episodes on Tuesday, April 12, (8:00-9:00 pm ET/PT and 9:00-10:00 pm ET/PT).
