We recently found out that acclaimed British actress Samantha Morton had been cast as new villain and Whisperer leader Alpha for the ninth season of AMC's The Walking Dead, and now we have word on who'll be playing her daughter.

According to THR, Ozark and Love Simon actress Cassady McClincy has joined the zombie survival drama as Lydia. In the comics, this character plays a major role as the love interest of Carl Grimes, but obviously the show is going to have to go a different route now that he's been killed off. Could she strike up a friendship/relationship with Enid instead, perhaps?

Other new additions include Brett Butler as "salt-of-the-earth Hilltop resident" Tammy Rose, John Finn as her blacksmith husband Earl, Rhys Coiro as "rebellious Savior who refuses to fall in line" Jed, and Zach McGowen as Justin, "a hostile Savior who isn't interested in working together with other communities."

The Walking Dead returns to our screens on October 7.

The Walking Dead may have taken a big dip in quality, but it's still better than many of the other comic book shows on TV. Yes, that is a dig at The CW:)

I assume you meant Enid.

@Jud4s - nope, Edith is an exciting new character, a plucky older lady with attitude:

Brett Butler? Grace Under Fire star Brett Butler? I thought she was dead. Thought she OD'd in the late 90s.

It's so frustrating that they're doing "The Whisperers War" without Rick, Carl and Maggie. I absolutely love the Whisperers, especially Alpha (who we don't get enough of) and Lydia, but I see no point in watching this season. I might at some point, just because it is Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan's last season, but Rick is "The Walking Dead's" Superman. Without him, I don't know what I'm watching for anymore.

@doomsday619 - Agreed. I have been so excited to see it adapted in live action, but without Rick, Carl and Maggie, I don't know what to be excited for, anymore. :,(

Haven't watched since Carl died. Why are they continuing without Rick (and possibly Maggie)? They should just let eight be the end, literally nothing good can come of season nine at this point.
