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.
