A “Walking Dead” veteran is walking into another graphic novel adaptation: Lauren Cohan has joined the cast of Prime Video’s “Stillwater” as a series regular, Deadline reports.
“Stillwater” is a horror thriller that follows ex-con Daniel West (played by Ben Hardy) as he travels to the town of Stillwater and “discovers a community where nothing ever ages, no one ever dies, and nobody ever gets out.” Cohan will play Cat, described as “a former homecoming queen whose small-town charm has sharpened into something fiercer thanks to decades of old grudges and regrets.”
Cohan is best known for playing survivor Maggie on “The Walking Dead,” a role she currently plays on the AMC spin-off “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” which just wrapped up Season 3 last month. (AMC has yet to renew “Dead City” for a fourth season.)
Also joining “Stillwater” as series regulars: Mark O’Brien (“Halt and Catch Fire”) as sheriff’s deputy Ted Keegan, and Mia Tomlinson (“The Conjuring: Last Rites”) as Cat’s sister Laura.
