Hot off the heels of adding Castle Rock’s Cassady McClincy to its cast, AMC’s The Walking Dead has added another huge genre favourite to its ranks.

Courtesy of The Wrap, the series has brought in Sons of Anarchy and Bates Motel’s Ryan Hurst to play the recurring role of Beta. For those familiar with the comic book Walking Dead, you’ll know that character is a key one as the show starts to bring the Whisperers into the fold.

In the Whisperers group, Beta is the right-hand man to the leader of that crew; that leader being Samantha Morton’s Alpha. Expect Rick Grimes and Co. to be butting heads with the eerie Whisperers as The Walking Dead’s upcoming ninth season plays out.

The Walking Dead will return to screens October 7th.
