‘American Horror Story’s Alexandra Breckenridge Joins ‘The Walking Dead’

Briefly: The Walking Dead is finally back, surprising us all with a brutal and extremely memorable premiere this past Sunday.

While we’re twiddling our thumbs patiently (impatiently) waiting for the next episode to air, Gimple and co. are busy adding to the show’s already expansive cast. The newest addition is American Horror Story‘s Alexandra Breckenridge, who played the young maid Moira in the first season of the FX hit.

She’ll join The Walking Dead as Samantha, an “attractive, strong, smart, charming and articulate woman who also has a vulnerable side. She’s a mother with a bohemian spirit, and a talented artist.” She won’t necessarily be named this on the show, and could even be based on one of the comic’s characters, but we won’t know that until later this year!

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on The Walking Dead news, but for now be sure to let us know what you think of the announcement!
