“We are thrilled to have Julia join our merry band. I’m grateful for the talent, grace, intelligence, and humor she has brought to our set, our show and to this role. We — and the audience — are very lucky to have Julia helping bring this new world of the Walking Dead to life,” co-creator Scott M. Gimple said in a statement.
“I’m so thrilled to be working with The Walking Dead team — I absolutely love how they write for women in particular; a lovely, talented cast and great to be back with AMC,” Ormond added. She previously guest starred on Mad Men.
Natalie Gold is also set to recur as Lyla, “a mysterious figure operating in the shadows on behalf of the cause she believes in.” Also recurring are Al Calderon as Barca, Scott Adsit as Tony, and Ted Sutherland as Percy.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond stars Aliyah Royale, Alexa Mansour, Annet Mahendru, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, and Nico Tortorella. It was co-created by Gimple and showrunner Matt Negrete, with Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, and Brian Bockrath joining them as executive producers.
