The Walking Dead spinoff adds Mercedes Mason, known for 666 Park Avenue, NCIS and The Finders.

Deadline reports the news of Mason joining Fear The Walking Dead, but her role is unknown at this time – only that she will be a series regular.

Fear The Walking Dead has already been picked up for two seasons by AMC and premiers later this year. The series will act as a prequel and run concurrently to The Walking Dead set in Los Angeles featuring new stories and characters.

Fear The Walking Dead stars Cliff Curtis, Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey. Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert from The Walking Dead are executive producing for AMC Studios. Dave Erickson, who co-created and co-wrote the pilot with Kirkman, is an executive producer and showrunner. Adam Davidson directed the pilot episode.

Fear The Walking Dead teaser:

Well, we don’t see this everyday, but check out video that features The Walking Dead‘s Chad Coleman throwing a hairy conniption on a NYC subway.

Coleman gets video taped as he goes ballistic ranting, raving, and stomping up and down the subway car toward the passengers.

We can hear Coleman reciting his various celebrity role as he screams: “Yes! I’m Chad L. Coleman! I’m on The Wire. I’m on The Walking Dead. I’m not trying to play no f—ing games with you! Where is your humanitarian?! Where brother?! So don’t tell me I’m making this up. A humanitarian. If you care, f—– care. And that’s the g– damn truth. So if you need to read about it, if you need to record it, get your phone out…”

“At the end of the day, there is a humanitarian in you,” Coleman can be heard yelling.

The video of Coleman goes on for almost four minutes and actually did debut at TMZ, who reached out to Coleman’s reps that stated Coleman was sober at the time, and this was Coleman’s response to the Baltimore riots.

Fans finally got to see Morgan reunite with Rick on the Season 5 finale of The Walking Dead.

However, it didn’t look to be a happy reunion as Morgan seems to be some sort of zen-master who won’t kill, while Rick is taking the opposite approach.

The Walking Dead Season 6 doesn’t return until October, but Lennie James spoke with TV Guide about his future with the series.

Will Morgan’s change in mental state be explained?

As with the change we saw from the man in the pilot to the man in “Clear,” there was, for want of a better word, an origin story to how Morgan had lost his mind. There is an origin story to the Morgan we meet in the season finale. I don’t know which way it’s going to be told, but I am pretty sure that origin story will in some way, shape or form will come to light in Season 6 and explain who this Morgan is.

How much will Morgan be a part of The Walking Dead Season 6?

All I can say is it will be at least one episode to clarify and resolve his arrival in Alexandria. Beyond that, at the moment I’m not at liberty to say.

Lennie James also teases who taught him how to bo staff fight:

 I can say that the skills you see him displaying in the finale, he’s been taught.

Earlier tonight saw The Walking Dead Season 5 season finale air, which is actually drawing mixed reactions on social networks.

Some fans absolutley loved it, while others felt it came up short (and some are even complaining that none of the regulars died!).

Following the episode, on Chris Hardwick’s Talking Dead, a Walking Dead Season 6 teaser note from showrunner Scott Gimple was read out loud.

Check it out:

“Season 6 for a good while now, humans have been the bigger threat. At the start of our next season, that will change. I said the show reinvents itself every 8 eps, and we’re doing it again, friendos. Now that these characters know they have what it takes to survive, what are they going to do with that power? How will they choose to live? Beyond answering those questions, we’re currently putting into motion some of our most ambitious stuff yet, and things are going to get very big, loud and scary.”

As we all know, “The Walking Dead” has been said to refer to the humans, but per Gimple’s remarks above, maybe the show is going back to its roots with more zombies?

We’ll have to wait until next Fall to find out as The Walking Dead Season 6 returns in October.

The next novel for The Walking Dead has been announced with The Walking Dead: Invasion.

Jay Bonansinga returns to write the new book that will be hitting shelves on October 6th and again follows hero Lilly Caul.

You can pre-order the book through Amazon at a discount.

Here is the official synopsis and cover:

Out of the ashes of a devastated Woodbury, Georgia, two opposing camps of ragtag survivors develop – each one on a collision course with the other.

Underground, in the labyrinth of ancient tunnels and mine shafts, Lilly Caul and her motley crew of senior citizens, misfits, and children struggle to build a new life. But a secret ambition still burns in Lilly’s heart and soul. She wants her beloved town of Woodbury back from the plague of walkers, and now the only thing that stands in her way currently roams the wasted backwaters of Georgia…

Way out in the hinterlands, amidst the rising tide of walkers that seem to be pushing in from all directions, the psychotic Reverend Jeremiah Garlitz rebuilds his army of followers with a diabolical secret weapon. He has designs on the destruction of Lilly and her crew – the very people who vanquished his cultish church – and now, for the first time, he has the means to bring a special brand of hell down upon the tunnel dwellers.

The final confrontation between these two human factions unleashes an unthinkable weapon – forged from the monstrous hordes of undead, perfected by a madman, and soaked in the blood of innocents.

It’s been a couple of days since Sunday’s shocking episode of The Walking Dead that saw not one, but two members of the group meet their maker that night.

Aiden bit the dust when he fired upon a zombie army soldier that happened to have a grenade.

The next death happened as a result of that as the zombies were let loose from the cage, and then Glenn and Noah were trapped in the revolving door.

In probably one of the most gruesome death scenes that I can recall for the show, Noah was eaten alive and had his face ripped apart while Glenn sat their watching (Aiden’s was pretty gruesome as well).

The episode seemed to foreshadow Noah having a long life taking over as the new architect. Well, it can be argued Noah was responsible for the deaths of both Beth and Tyreese, so I guess he had it coming.

Check out Noah’s death scene:

AMC has released the first image still from The Walking Dead spinoff in addition to announcing the new series will have at least two seasons.

The as-of-yet untitled series will be set in LA focusing on new characters and storylines featuring six one-hour episodes and premiering on AMC this Summer, with the second season due out in 2016.

The Walking Dead spinoff stars Cliff Curtis, Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey. 

“We take incredibly seriously the notion of building a satisfying companion series to the number one show on television. From the beginning of ‘The Walking Dead’ on AMC, we’ve been asked questions about what was going on in other parts of the zombie apocalypse, and what it looked like as the world really did ‘turn.’ Through this new series, we’re going to find out,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president. “Robert Kirkman, Dave Erickson and their writing team, along with an incomparable set of producers, cast and crew have created something remarkable and clearly distinct. We respectfully follow the request of Monty Python as we bring out (the latest of) our Dead.”

“We feel empowered by this two-season commitment, a serious show of faith from our network partner AMC,” Kirkman said. “I personally take it as a sign that they believe, like we do, that we’ve accomplished our goal of developing something original that can pay tribute to the original show and expand the world I created while at the same time having something new to say with this story. I’m very grateful that we now have the opportunity to tell this amazing story and show the fans that we really haven’t scratched the surface yet when it comes to ‘The Walking Dead.’”

“This vote of confidence from our partners at AMC is gratifying, to say the least,” Erickson said. “We’ve been blessed with amazing writers and a stellar cast – and we can’t wait to build this apocalyptic drama over the next two seasons and hopefully beyond.”

The Season 5 finale of The Walking Dead has been extended by 30 minutes.

The episode, airing Sunday March 29th, will run 90 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes.

Hopefully the extra 30 minutes won’t all be commercials (there were a lot of complaints about the mid-season premiere).

The Walking Dead Season 5 finale sees Daryl in trouble and the rest of the group trying to fit in at their new camp, Alexandria.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9pm ET on AMC.
