The cast of AMC’s new The Walking Dead spin-off is continuing to come together.
Deadline is reporting that The Punisher star Joe Holt has joined the cast in a recurring role. He will play Leo Bennett, “a solid family man and respected professor with a generous heart and unwavering optimism for the future. He’d risk his life to save the people he cares about.”
So far all we know about the untitled series is that it will follow “the first generation to come of age in the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever.”
A brief teaser for the series was released last month at SDCC, check it out in the tweet below.
