Talking Dead Guests Are Khary Payton And Chloe Bennet

Following Sunday’s new episode of The Walking Dead, Chris Hardwick will have a full couch to recap the latest hour of the show on Talking Dead.

Hardwick will be joined by Ezekiel actor Khary Payton, Agents of SHIELD’s Chloe Bennet, and comedian Dana Gould. Payton will make his debut on The Walking Dead on Sunday night after the first look as his portrayal of Ezekiel coming in the San Diego Comic Con trailer for the show’s seventh season back in July.

Bennet joins the show after years of being a huge fan. Currently, she plays Daisy Johnson on ABC’s Agents of SHIELD but has ties to The Walking Dead outside of the fandom. Bennet has been dating The Walking Dead‘s Spencer Monroe actor Austin Nichols for a couple of years.

Gould is a producer of The Simpsons. Coming up, Gould is executive producinga new series headed to IFC called Stan Against Evil. Gould is also an accomplished stand up comedian.

Talking Dead will be less of a therapy session this week than it was seven days ago. The Season 7 premiere saw the brutal sendoff for two core characters from Alexandria. Episode 2, titled, “The Well,” will introduce a new, friendly, and much brighter community to the mix. In fact, showrunner Scott Gimple claims the episode will be “funny.”

Payton will have much to discuss as his Ezekiel and Ezekiel’s jungle cat Shiva are introduced to the AMC series. That’s right, there will be a tiger on The Walking Dead, starting with tonight’s new episode.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC. For complete coverage and insider info all season long, follow @BrandonDavisBD on Twitter.
