Extras and Logan star Stephen Merchant is officially joining the long-running zombie franchise that is AMC’s The Walking Dead universe.
The comedian/actor took to Instagram to confirm the news as well as reveal which spinoff he’s joined.
His Walking Dead debut will be in the third season of Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon spinoff series.
“As a fan of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, I was excited when they asked me to join the WD universe for season 3,” Merchant wrote in an announcement post.
However, he continued to shut down any hopes for “spoilers” from his fans.
“Don’t ask me for spoilers,” he added.
“My lips are sealed.”
Reedus’ Daryl Dixon spinoff is currently in the middle of premiering its second season, with its third already being greenlit by AMC/AMC+ months prior.
Melissa McBride, who famously plays Carol Peletier in the world of The Walking Dead, joins Reedus in season two after he went solo for the spinoff’s first season.
