Well, I’m a little surprised, to be honest. This series has taken its time meandering through the comics and I’m a little taken aback by this move.
AMC announced that David Morrissey has been cast as the Governor and will be appearing in Season 3. Will Season 2 finally bring us to the prison.
David Morrissey has been cast in the role of The Governor in the network’s critically acclaimed hit series The Walking Dead. The Governor, a character from Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel, is the leader of Woodbury, a small settlement of survivors, and becomes the chief antagonist for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group.
The Governor will appear in The Walking Dead Season 3, a 16-episode order from AMC, which begins production this spring in Atlanta.
Morrissey is a BAFTA winner and has appeared in a bunch of British television shows that I’m not at all familiar with, which means he’ll probably be amazing. I wonder how his red neck accent is.
Season 2 continues Sunday night.
