“The Walking Dead” seems to becoming a post-apocalyptic version of “The Wire.” Seth Gilliam has been added to cast for season 5 joining fellow Wire actors Chad L. Coleman (who plays Tyreese) and Larry Gilliard Jr (who plays Bob).

You may remember Gilliam as Sgt. Ellis Carver on “The Wire” who often got into shenanigans with Herc. He also starred in Starship Troopers as Sugar Watkins.

Currently, we have no idea who Gilliam will be playing in the season but he will be a series regular. Michael Cudlitz (Abraham Ford), Josh McDermitt (Eugene Porter), Alanna Masterson (Tara Chambler), Christian Serratos (Rosita Espinosa) and Andrew J. West (Gareth) are promoted to series regulars for this season

Showrunner Scott M. Gimple has been confirmed to return for the fifth season of the top-rated zombie survival show.

Season five of The Walking Dead will premiere this fall on AMC.
