“The Walking Dead” Casts Comic Book Character Lydia, Daughter of Alpha
The Whisperers will arrive in the forthcoming ninth season of “The Walking Dead,“ and we’ve learned tonight that Cassady McClincy (Love, Simon, “Castle Rock”) has joined the ensemble cast as Lydia, the daughter of Whisperers leader Alpha. The role is a recurring one.
Alpha, as we recently learned, will be played by Samantha Morton.
Other new members to the cast include Nadia Hilker as Magna, “a tough as nails survivor who has been living on the road”; Eleanor Matsuura as Yumiko; Zach McGowen as Justin, “a hostile Savior not interested in working together with the other communities”; Rhys Coiro as Jed, “A rebellious Savior who refuses to fall in line”; Brett Butler as Tammy Rose, “A salt-of-the-earth resident at Hilltop”; John Finn as Earl, “Hilltop’s blacksmith and Tammy Rose’s devoted husband”; and Dan Fogler as Luke, “A fatigued survivor who understands there is safety in numbers. He values what is beautiful and hopeful and makes us uniquely human.”
“The Walking Dead” will return to AMC on October 7.
Despite her character, Mia, dying in season one of “Dexter: Resurrection“, Deadline reports that Krysten Ritter will return for season two.
No word at this time on who Ritter will play in the upcoming season, including whether or not this means the series may resurrect her serial killer character also known as Lady Vengeance.
It is a series that has brought characters back from the dead before, after all. And that’s if Mia died at all; even Ritter has teased not to count her character out yet.
Ritter joins the previously announced Uma Thurman, who reprises her character Charley in season two.
The new season finds Dexter Morgan caught between two killers — one notorious and the other terrorizing New York in ways no one ever anticipated — all while battling his greatest enemy yet: a mid-life crisis. Harrison continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter.
Michael C. Hall will be back as Dexter Morgan in the upcoming “Dexter: Resurrection” Season 2, starring alongside Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Sarif, Dominic Fumusa, Desmond Harrington, and James Remar.
They’ll be joined by series newcomers Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer, Bokeem Woodbine as NYPD Homicide Captain Mixon, Nona Parker Johnson as Harrison Morgan’s new love interest Fiona Mixon, and Brian Cox as The New York Ripper.
You can stream the first season on Paramount+ now. Daniel Kurland wrote here on Bloody Disgusting last year, “Somehow, against all odds, Dexter: Resurrection is good. Really good.” He continued, “With any luck, Dexter: Resurrection’s second season will maintain this momentum and consistency, rather than going off the rails like in the past.”
