“Sons of Anarchy” Star Ryan Hurst Joins “The Walking Dead” as Beta
The Whisperers will arrive in the forthcoming ninth season of “The Walking Dead,“ and we learned over the weekend that Cassady McClincy (Love, Simon, “Castle Rock”) has joined the ensemble cast as Lydia, the daughter of Whisperers leader Alpha. The Wrap adds today that Ryan Hurst (“The Walking Dead”) has come aboard as member Beta.
Beta is second-in-command to Alpha, being 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.
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
