    The cast of the upcoming Walking Dead anthology spinoff continues to grow, as they add some pretty big names to further explore the many corners of a zombie-filled world. IN a new piece by TV Insider, it seems that the series had added Olivia Munn, Danny Ramirez, Jessie T. Usher, Loan Chabanol, and Embeth Davidtz to the upcoming series.

    They join an ever-expanding cast that will include a variety of new faces and were teased to include some familiar ones as well. So, who knows who else might make an appearance throughout the show’s runtime. So far, the series has added Cowboy Bebop‘s Daniella Pineda, Anthony Edwards, Jilian Bell, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Terry Crews, and many more.

    We’ll see just how big the cast might grow, as they start preparing to enter production. It’s unclear if they’ll announce any of the recurring cast, as they might be included as a surprise to keep viewers on their toes throughout its runtime. There’s also no set timeline for the anthology series. It would be curious to see just how much more they might reveal.

    It’s crazy to think how large the series based on a zombie apocalypse would grow over all these years. Such a simple concept – based on a pre-existing comic series – offered many more avenues for creatives to explore and shows just how much potential there is with a simple concept. It’ll be interesting to see just how far AMC might push the franchise moving forward.

    I am still recovering from Cowboy Bebop‘s cancellation, but it looks like the stars of that series have some new projects on the horizon. Variety has just revealed that former Faye Valentine, Daniella Pineda, has joined the upcoming spinoff series Tales of the Walking Dead. She joins an all-star cast consisting of Poppy Liu, Terry Crews, Anthony Edwards, Jillian Bell, and Parker Posey. Each episode will explore a different corner of The Walking Dead universe and it was also announced that former characters would also potentially make an appearance at some point.

    There’s no word on what role she’ll exactly tackle, especially as an anthology series tends to include multiple different storylines. Pineda made a name for herself in TV shows like The Originals, What/If, and The Detour, but also appeared in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and is set to appear in the upcoming Dominion sequel. Her most recent appearance was on the previously mentioned live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, which was canceled after one season.

    Nothing truly ends. The Walking Dead franchise proved that fact with its eleven-season run. In addition, the flagship series spawns two spin-off series. Announced a while back, Tales From The Walking Dead will join Fear The Walking Dead and Walking Dead: World Beyond as the third spin-off series to spawn from the main series. Set to premiere sometime this summer on AMC, and we finally got a cast announcement for the anthology series.

    Deadline has reported that Terry Crews, Anthony Edwards, Poppy Liu, Parker Posey, and Jillian Bell have all joined the upcoming series. This casting is said to be only the first wave of talent set to expand the world of the Walking Dead. Writer Scott M. Gimple shared his excitement about the new cast.

    Anthony, Jillian, Terry, Parker, and Poppy are the first wave of singular talents who will further expand the Walking Dead Universe into harrowing, hilarious, heartfelt, and horrifying new realms and we couldn’t be happier to welcome them to the family, along with these terrific directors. More announcements, more wonderful folks to come

    The initial announcement of the series said that the series would feature new and established characters from within this universe. Currently, no actors previously seen on any of the three other shows have been announced for the anthology series. This would open up the possibility of many long-dead characters from the series returning for stories set before their debut in any of the other shows.
