Alexandra Breckenridge joins AMC’s The Walking Dead Season 5

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

“The Walking Dead” has already gotten off to a hell of a start (read our review here), and now it appears that another actress will be joining the ranks in “American Horror Story” star Alexandra Breckenridge, reports THR. She will play Samantha, an attractive, strong, smart, charming and articulate woman with a vulnerable side. She’s a mother with a bohemian spirit, and a talented artist. That's what the producers are saying at least; aka it could be total bullshit. While there are no further details on her character, the site says that it's a recurring role that could see her stick around as a regular in Season 6. I guess we'll know soon enough!

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, “The Walking Dead” tells the story of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse and follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, who travel in search of a safe and secure home.

It stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Melissa McBride, Emily Kinney, Danai Gurira, Chad Coleman and Sonequa Martin-Green.
