According to The Hollywood Reporter, Garret Dillahunt has been cast as a series regular on AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead. When the drama returns for its fourth season, Dillahunt will join the series in a currently-unspecified role. 

As a noted superfan of The Walking Dead franchise, Dillahunt previously campaigned for the role of Negan. Past credits for Dillahunt include Raising Hope, The Mindy Project, Hand of God, and Fox’s X-Men spinoff series, The Gifted.

The addition of Dillahunt comes after Fear the Walking Dead announced new showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg. Along with the crew changes, the season three finale also saw the death of two major characters, leaving the status of several others uncertain. 

Fear the Walking Dead, created by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson, stars Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Lorenzo James Henrie, Rubén Blades, Colman Domingo, Michelle Ang, Danay Garcia, Daniel Sharman, Sam Underwood, Dayton Callie, and Lisandra Tena.

Season four is projected to debut in 2018.
