First look at Corey Hawkins as Heath in Season 6 of The Walking Dead

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

THR got an early look at a key character of The Walking Dead’s sixth season, sharing a photo of Corey Hawkins playing Heath, who is said to be an important member of the Alexandria community.

Fans of the Robert Kirkman comic series will recognize Hawkins’ character, as he was first introduced in issue 69. If you consider character descriptions a spoiler, then you might want to steer clear of this next bit (it’s very, very mild stuff), as THR says the character is an eventual Alexandria supply runner, friend to Glenn and love interest to Denise. So there you have it, that’s the low down on Hawkins’ character and the newest addition to The Walking Dead.

With this news of Hawkins joining the cast, and being the first confirmed casting addition, I’d imagine we’ll be hearing plenty more from AMC and The Walking Dead in the coming weeks, so keep it here, folks!
