THE WALKING DEAD: WORLD BEYOND Adds Julia Ormond, Releases New Teaser

AMC officially announced the third title of THE WALKING DEAD franchise—THE WALKING DEAD: WORLD BEYOND.

Additionally, Julia Ormond has joined the cast of the series, which is now in production for a 2020 release. She’ll play Elizabeth, “the charismatic leader of a large, sophisticated and formidable force.”

“We are thrilled to have Julia join our merry band,” said co-creator Scott Gimple in a statement. “I’m grateful for the talent, grace, intelligence, and humor she has brought to our set, our show and to this role. We—and the audience—are very lucky to have Julia helping bring this new world of the WALKING DEAD to life.”

“I’m so thrilled to be working with THE WALKING DEAD team—I absolutely love how they write for women in particular; a lovely, talented cast and great to be back with AMC,” added Ormond.

Per AMC, THE WALKING DEAD: WORLD BEYOND “will focus on the first generation raised in the zombie apocalypse. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.”

The drama also stars Aliyah Royale, Alexa Mansour, Annet Mahendru, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, and Nico Tortorella.
