AMC has announced that The Walking Dead’s Pollyanna McIntosh has joined the cast of the 10-episode second season of “The Walking Dead: World Beyond,” which is set to premiere October 3 at 10:00 p.m. ET/9c on AMC with all episodes available one week early on AMC+, beginning September 26. McIntosh will reprise her role as “Jadis,” a fan favorite from “The Walking Dead.”
“We are thrilled to have the terrific Pollyanna McIntosh back as Jadis, and we’re excited for viewers to see how she collides with the characters in this part of the Universe,” said series co-creator Scott M. Gimple. “In our story, years have passed — we’ll get hints of what happened with that fateful helicopter ride and learn Jadis has new allies and alliances; she is a big part of connecting the CRM and Three Circles mythology that’s seen throughout all three series. We can’t wait to share it all with fans of the TWDU.”
The announcement appears to unveil at least part of how the events and characters in the upcoming season will help to tie the three shows in “The Walking Dead” Universe together, which Gimble teased during the “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” Comic-Con@Home panel.
Co-created by Gimple and Showrunner Matt Negrete, “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” also stars Aliyah Royale, Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, Nico Tortorella, Joe Holt, Jelani Alladin, Natalie Gold, and Ted Sutherland.
Season two of “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” concludes the epic story of Iris (Royale), Hope (Mansour), Elton (Cantu), and Silas (Cumpston) — four friends who journeyed across the country on a mission that transformed everything they knew about themselves and the world. As they face off against the mysterious Civic Republic Military and fight for control of their own destiny, goals will shift, bonds will form and crumble, and innocence will be both lost and found. Produced and distributed by AMC Studios, the series is executive produced by Co-Creators Gimple and Showrunner Negrete, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, and Brian Bockrath.
