EW is reporting that “Orange is the New Black’s” Elizabeth Rodriguez has joined AMC’s “Walking Dead” companion series, “Fear The Walking Dead.”
In “Fear the Walking Dead,” she’s been cast in a mysterious role that sources are keeping quiet about.
The Los Angeles-based “Fear The Walking Dead” focuses on new characters and storylines, with the show’s first season consisting of six one-hour episodes that will premiere on AMC in late summer. Its second season will air in 2016.
“The Walking Dead” companion series already has a two-season commitment from AMC, and also stars Cliff Curtis, Kim Dickens and Frank Dillane. The show will follow a different set of characters than those in the original, Georgia-set, mega-rated flagship series.
“Fear the Walking Dead” debuts this June.
