Back in September, AMC officially ordered a pilot episode for The Walking Dead companion series, a show that will be set in the same living dead universe as the current series, albeit in a different environment inhabited by new characters. The news front for the companion series has been quiet for some time, but it has now been revealed that the first two actors have joined the pilot’s cast.
Deadline reports that Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey have signed on to The Walking Dead spinoff, which is tentatively also known as Cobalt at this time. The show is believed to focus on a male divorced teacher and a female guidance counselor, and Dillane will play the latter’s son, who has a history of drug addiction. Carey, meanwhile, will take on the role of the guidance counselor’s ambitious daughter/Dillane’s character’s sister.
