THE STAND: Eion Bailey, Katherine McNamara, and Hamish Linklater Join CBS All Access Series

Eion Bailey, Katherine McNamara, and Hamish Linklater have joined the cast of CBS All Access’ THE STAND, the streaming service announced.

The limited series is based on the Stephen King novel by the same same. Per CBS All Access, THE STAND is an “apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil. The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.”

Eion Bailey will play Teddy Weizak, “a superflu survivor and member of the body crew, alongside Harold, in Boulder, Colo.” Katherine McNamara—who is currently on ARROW—will play Julie Lawry, “a small-town girl with a wild side [who] is one of Lloyd’s conquests in Las Vegas.” Hamish Linklater will play Dr. Ellis, “a military colonel and infectious disease specialist who dreams of being the hero who stops the superflu.”

The trio joined previously announced cast members James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young, Jovan Adepo, Owen Teague, Henry Zaga, Brad William Henke, Alexander Skarsgård, and Whoopi Goldberg.
