AMC’s The Walking Dead: Cobalt has cast it’s female co-star

AMC’s The Walking Dead companion series has found its female lead. After an extensive casting search, several scams, and very few spoilers, casting directors have cast Gone Girl and Sons of Anarchy alum, Kim Dickens to co-star in the prequel series from Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and showrunenr Dave Erickson, The Hollywood Reporter reporter.

The project, also known as Cobalt, takes place in Los Angeles at the dawn of the zombie apocalypse. Kirkman’s graphic novels, upon which The Walking Dead series is based, have never explored the origins of the zombie apocalypse.

Cliff Curtis (Gang Related) stars as Sean Cabrera. Curtis plays a teacher who shares a son with his ex-wife, Andrea. The character is described as a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life. Dickens will play the role of Nancy Tomkins, a guidance counselor who works with and is dating Sean. Nancy has two kids but it’s unclear what happened to her husband. She has a troubled past that will come up later in the series.

Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) co-stars as Nancy’s son Nick, who has battled a drug problem, and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Woods) is set as Nancy’s ambitious daughter Ashley, who is the polar opposite of Nick and has dreams of leaving L.A. for Berkeley when the apocalypse strikes.
