Fear the Walking Dead adds Daniel Sharman as a series regular

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

AMC recently revealed that the Walking Dead companion series Fear the Walking Dead would be returning to their airwaves for its third season starting in June. While the exact date of the premiere has not yet been announced, the network has announced that we can expect to see a new series regular on the show when it comes back.

The new regular is Daniel Sharman as a character named Troy, who is described as being suspicious of outsiders and having a "wild temperament". Apparently Troy is "charismatic with a cruel streak", which would make me assume that the character is a villain if this were any other show. It's tough to tell who's a hero or a villain on Fear the Walking Dead, though. It's usually the main characters who are messing up the zombie apocalypse for everyone around them.

Sharman is no stranger to genre television, having had roles on the MTV show Teen Wolf and The CW's The Originals.

The actor joins a cast that includes the returning Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Alycia Debam-Carey, Frank Dillane, Danay Garcia, Colman Domingo, Mercedes Mason, and Ruben Blades, as well as fellow new addition Emma Caulfield.

The season three synopsis:

As "Fear the Walking Dead" returns for season three, our families will be brought together in the vibrant and violent ecotone of the U.S.-Mexico border. International lines done away with following the world’s end, our characters must attempt to rebuild not only society, but family as well. Madison (Kim Dickens) has reconnected with Travis (Cliff Curtis), her apocalyptic partner, but Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) has been fractured by her murder of Andres. Madison's son mere miles from his mother, Nick’s (Frank Dillane) first action as a leader saw Luciana (Danay Garcia) ambushed by an American militia group — the couple escaped death, but Nick no longer feels immortal. Recovering both emotionally and physically, Strand (Colman Domingo) has his sights set on harnessing the new world’s currency, and Ofelia's (Mercedes Mason) captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father.

Fear the Walking Dead is currently filming in Mexico.
