GONE GIRL Actress Kim Dickens Joins THE WALKING DEAD Spinoff
Deadline report that the still untitled (though it's being referred to as "Cobalt" for now) companion series to AMC's The Walking Dead has found its female lead in the form of Kim Dickens, who was one of the standouts in David Fincher's brilliant Gone Girl.
Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, Deadwood, Sons Of Anarchy) has landed the female lead role in AMC's The Walking Dead companion series. She'll play an unnamed guidance counselor with two children (Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey) who, along with her school teacher boyfriend (Cliff Curtis) must try to survive the undead apocalypse in Los Angeles. Apparently Dickins won the part after a lengthy casting process with a number of other actresses testing, and her character is describes as looking like "the girl next door but has a darkness to her, a troubled past that will come back to haunt her." Adam Davidson is set to direct the pilot episode of the new zombie drama series, which was cooked up by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson.
