With AMC’s The Walking Dead now looking forward to its eighth season next October, it’s been revealed that three names have been promoted to series regulars for the next season of this fan favourite genre show.

Getting the nod as series regulars are the scenery-devouring Steven Ogg, the long-familiar Katelyn Nacon, and personal STARBURST favourite Pollyanna McIntosh. Ogg has won many fans for his turn as Simon, one of Negan’s righthand men, whereas Nacon has been around since Season 5 as young Enid. As for McIntosh, the star of The Woman debuted as Jadis in this last season. That particular character is the leader of the Scavengers group who seemingly turned on Rick Grimes and Co. in the final moments of Season 7.

As mentioned, The Walking Dead returns to the small screen in October.
