Kevin Zegers signs on for Fear the Walking Dead season 4

Dawn of the Dead Kevin Zegers Zack Snyder

Thirteen years after playing a role in Zack Snyder's remake of the George A. Romero classic DAWN OF THE DEAD, actor Kevin Zegers is set to encounter a new batch of zombies in the fourth season of the AMC TV series Fear the Walking Dead.

Fear the Walking Dead is set a few years earlier in the zombie apocalypse than where its companion series The Walking Dead is now, and it's 

a gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family.

Showrunner Dave Erickson has stepped away from the series after overseeing the first three seasons. Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg are taking over as showrunners for season four.

Zegers joins a cast that includes returning stars Kim Dickens, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Frank Dillane, Ruben Blades, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, and Ray McKinnon, as well as fellow new additions Garret Dillahunt, Jenna Elfman, and Maggie Grace. Also new to the cast this season is Lennie James, who will be playing his The Walking Dead character Morgan Jones.

Fear the Walking Dead returns to AMC sometime in 2018.
