The Walking Dead adding two new original characters for season 7

July 1, 2016 by Gary Collinson

With (at least) one of our beloved favourites from The Walking Dead set to shuffle off this mortal coil once we finally learn who is on the receiving end of Negan’s baseball bat, TV Line is reporting that the hit zombie drama is adding two new original characters to the cast.

According to the site, episode six of the upcoming season will introduce two characters: Naomi, who is described as “a grandmotherly type who, having lost so many loved ones, is now willing to do whatever it takes not to have to bury any more”; and Jennie, “a sunny-side-up kinda teenager — oh, Caaarl! — who sounds a lot like Beth 2.0, kind, with a world-weary toughness.”

The Walking Dead will presumably premiere in October, and if past years are any indication, we’ll get our first trailer during Comic-Con later this month.
