Showrunner Scott Gimple also confirmed that Ethan Embry will be joining the cast as Carter. Gimple added that Ethan shall play a combo of a few characters that the show have not hit yet or were not able to hit in other characters. Ethan is an Alexandrian and has been there the whole time, just minding his own business.
Carter is also a character from the comic book that was mentioned by citizens of Alexandria since he was the one who helped build the wall.
It has also been reported that Merritt Wever will join the cast as an Alexandrian. She would be playing the role of Dr. Denise Cloyd. In the comic books, she is a medic and surgeon.
Then there is Corey Hawkins who has been the first to be confirmed as the new cast member for Season 6 of “The Walking Dead.” He will be playing the role of Heath.
Gimple says that the actor is quite a fun guy to work with. He went straight to the filming with no qualms at all. He is tough and skeptical when the cameras are rolling but a goofy fan when it is off.
The finale of “The Walking Dead” Season 5 aired on AMC on March 29. Barely two months later, the cast and production staff were already busy with the filming.
Apparently, the cast and production crew of the very successful “The Walking Dead” filmed at Manchester, Georgia for the highly-anticipated yet close-guarded Season 6 of the TV series.
