Apparently Edwards will play "Leon Basset" while Coleman will be playing a new character, "Lambert (Lam) Kendel." I'm not sure why a new character is being added since the comic is practically over run with great characters already, but anyway. They join the previously announced Jon Bernthal, Andrew Lincoln, Jeffrey DeMunn, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, Steven Yeun, Michael Rooker, and Chandler Riggs.
The Walking Dead is aiming for an October premier.
For anyone not in the know with this great comic, The Walking Dead is an American monthly black and white, published by Image Comics beginning in 2003. The comic was created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore. It is centered on Rick Grimes, a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky, his family, and a number of other survivors who have banded together in order to survive after the world is overrun with zombies. As the series progresses, the characters become more developed, and their personalities shift under the stress of a zombie apocalypse, most notably Rick's.
I really hope this show is something special.
