Ahead of today’s panel at the San Diego Comic-Con International, Comic Book is reporting that The Walking Dead has added two new cast members for its ninth season in Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) and Eleanor Matsuura (Wonder Woman).
According to the site, Fogler will play a mysterious new character, with Matsuura portraying the character of Yumiko, who in the comic books is part of a new group of survivors who encounter Rick and the Alexandria Safe-Zone years after the All Out War event.
