The Walking Dead season 10: Lynn Collins joins cast, images reveal character

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The six bonus episodes of The Walking Dead season 10 will begin airing on AMC as of February 28th, and they're going to be adding some new cast members into the mix. We've previously heard that these episodes will feature Okea Eme-Akwari as Elijah, the mysterious masked man who hangs out with Maggie (Lauren Cohan); Robert Patrick as a character named Mays; and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's wife Hilarie Burton Morgan as his character Negan's wife Lucille. Now images have revealed that these episodes will also be introducing us to a character named Leah, played by Lynn Collins. Those images can be seen below.

Collins' previous credits include True Blood, The Number 23, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Blood Creek, John Carter, Bosch, Rim of the World, and William Friedkin's Bug. 

We actually got our first look at Collins as Leah in a batch of images that we shared a few days ago, but I didn't know who she was at the time. 

Last on The Walking Dead, we witnessed the fall of Alpha (Samantha Morton) and the end of the Whisperers War. The Kingdom had fallen, Hilltop was virtually destroyed and Alexandria abandoned to prepare for final battle. Our survivors were trapped and separated from one another. Yet, when faced with almost certain death, they rallied together to fight, killing Beta (Ryan Hurst) and eliminating the threat of the horde.

In these six new episodes, we find our survivors trying to pick themselves up by their bootstraps following the destruction the Whisperers left in their wake. The years of struggle weigh upon them as past traumas surface, exposing their more vulnerable sides. As they question the state of humanity, the state of their collective community, and the states of their minds, will they find the inner strength to persevere with their lives, friendships, and group intact?

The Walking Dead is based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics. The show is produced by AMC Studios and executive produced by Kirkman, Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner Angela Kang, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Joseph Incaprera, and Denise Huth.
