Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan), Austin Amelio (Dwight), Tom Payne (Paul Rovia “Jesus”) and Xander Berkeley (Gregory) have all been promoted to main cast members ahead of The Walking Dead’s seventh season premiere.
All four actors joined the cast during the sixth season of the show. Followers of the comic series won’t be surprised by this news as all four characters have pivotal roles to play in The Walking Dead universe.
The full list of series regulars for the seventh season of the hit AMC series includes: Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Norman Reedus (Daryl), Steven Yeun (Glenn), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), Chandler Riggs (Carl), Danai Gurira (Michonne), Melissa McBride (Carol), Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), Lennie James (Morgan), Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha), Alanna Masterson (Tara), Christian Serratos (Rosita), Josh McDermitt (Eugene), Seth Gilliam (Father Gabriel), Ross Marquand (Aaron), Austin Nichols (Spencer), Morgan, Payne, Amelio and Berkeley.
It’s expected that one of the regulars will leave the show after the premiere episode of the seventh season, following last season’s cliff-hanger.
