Tyler James Williams joins The Walking Dead in a mystery role

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

It’s hunt or be hunted with the upcoming season of the hit AMC series “The Walking Dead”, and this season is looking rather promising indeed. Now THR is reporting that “Go On” and “Everybody Hates Chris” alum Tyler James Williams has joined the cast of season 5 in a mystery role.

Details on just whom Williams is playing are being kept under wraps, but THR revealed that his character is named Noah. It’s unclear which episode Williams will make his debut in or if he’ll be around in a guest, recurring or regular capacity. The Noah character does not exist in Robert Kirkman’s comics, on which the AMC series is based.

Season Four of The Walking Dead ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate.

Season Five picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group’s lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.

Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them…

After all they’ve seen, all they’ve done, all they’ve sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost…

Who do they become?

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

“The Walking Dead” returns on October 12th on AMC.
