Not only do we have the sixth season of “The Walking Dead” to look forward to this year but also the premiere of “Fear the Walking Dead,” a spinoff that will center on an entirely new group of survivors. On tap today is the latest casting news, so read on!
Deadline reports that “Southland” star Shawn Hatosy, who was also in 1998’s The Faculty, has been cast in the AMC companion series. Hatosy will play a well-intentioned but out of his element military man with a soulful disposition.
