Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead killed off the two most important characters on the show – one at the actor's request, the other to the actor's dismay – and replaced them with a whole bunch of new additions, including The Walking Dead crossover character Morgan Jones (Lennie James).
Pre-season 4 stars Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, and Ruben Blades will still be hanging around in the upcoming season 5, along with season 4 additions James, Maggie Grace, Garret Dillahunt, Jenna Elfman, Mo Collins, Daryl Mitchell, and Alexa Nisenson. We know another crossover character from The Walking Dead, Austin Amelio as Dwight, will be catching up with Morgan this season, and now the casting of a new series regular has been announced.
Karen David has signed on to play a character named Grace on Fear the Walking Dead. The name is the only information that has been provided about this character. Deadline writer Dino-Ray Ramos speculated that Grace will
be hunting some zombies while dealing with her own personal demons.
Which sounds quite likely.
David has previously appeared on several episodes of shows like Galavant, Once Upon a Time, Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television, and Legacies. She played princesses on two of those shows.
A premiere date for Fear the Walking Dead season 5 has not yet been announced, but we'll probably be finding out when it is very soon since The Walking Dead season 9 only has four more episodes to air.
