"The Walking Dead" season 7 recently cast Sydney Park and Deborah May for major recurring roles.
According to the show's official spoiler site, child star Park will give life to the character Jennie, who is described as a kind and tough girl.
Jennie has survived the loss of some of the most important people in her life so she's grown up to become very tough and assertive. Despite her trauma, Jennie tries to maintain a certain level of idealism. She doesn't like using her weapons unless she's in desperate need to do so.
Meanwhile, veteran actress May will be playing the role of Naomi, a leader and grandmother who used to be very soft-hearted. Throughout the years, she has suffered through difficult experiences that have turned her into a very touch character.
Just like Jennie, Naomi has also lost most of her loved ones. This is the very reason why she's ready to do everything to ensure that no one from her family will be killed ever again.
According to the spoiler site, Jennie and Naomi are just casting call names and not real names of the actual characters that Park and May will portray on the hit AMC series.
TV Line previously reported that two new characters are being cast, and they will appear on the show for the first time in episode 6.
In other news, if there will be two new characters in "The Walking Dead" season 7, there will also be some confirmed deaths in the show.
Last season, the villainous character Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) decided to kill off an important character. However, the identity of this person hasn't been confirmed yet.
At present, there are speculations suggesting that Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) could have been Negan's target.
Not only was the character spotted without his red-colored hair dye for the series; he hasn't also been seen on the set of the series.
Just like Cudlitz, Steven Yeun has been missing during the filming of the first four episodes of "The Walking Dead" season 7. As such, his character Glenn might have also been Negan's victim.
"The Walking Dead" season 7 will premiere on AMC on Oct. 9.
