Fear The Walking Dead

EXCLUSIVE: Karen David is the latest to be thrown into the world of zombie survival in AMC’s Fear The Walking Dead. The Galavant actress has been added as a series regular on The Walking Dead spinoff for season 5.

Considering it is The Walking Dead universe (would it be called the Deadiverse?) not much can be said about the forthcoming season. While a lot has been kept tightly under wraps, David will be playing a character named “Grace.” My guess is she will be hunting some zombies while dealing with her own personal demons — but that’s just me.

She is repped by Zero Gravity Management, SDB Partners, Viewpoint and Independent Talent Group in the UK.
