The Walking Dead has added another famous face to the cast for season 6 with Alicia Witt announcing that she’s joining the show…
Alicia Witt — best known for her roles on The Sopranos and Justified — announced on Thursday that she’s joining the cast of The Walking Dead during season 6.
There are no details on who Witt will be playing or how long she’s sticking around, but chances are her casting with the show about to wrap up filming on season 6 seems to suggest that Witt might be making an appearance around the same time as Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
proud & overjoyed to get to announce to you today: I'm joining one of the greatest shows ever made.#TheWalkingDead! @WalkingDead_AMC#TWD

It’s been well documented that the big bad from The Walking Dead comics will be showing up by the end of season 6 and Witt might be part of his infamous group known as The Saviors.
Then again, Witt could join Ethan Embry as a famous actor cast for the show who doesn’t end up sticking around very long.
Either way, Witt will be showing up before The Walking Dead wraps up the end of this season so keep an eye out for her first appearance to see if she’s a new player or just another face who won’t make it until season 7.
The Walking Dead returns for the second half of season 6 on February 14 at 9pm ET.
