Talking Dead Guests Are Scott Aukerman And A Surprise Cast Member

Following Sunday night’s new episode of The Walking Dead, Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick will be joined by writer Scott Aukerman and a surprise cast member. Talking Dead will air immediately after the third episode of The Walking Dead‘s seventh season, titled, “The Cell.”

Aukerman is best known for his work as the riter of Shark Tale, Run Ronnie Run, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifinakis and Comedy Bang! Bang!.

As for the surprise cast member, the most likely candidates are Norman Reedus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, or Austin Amelio. The three actors are the biggest names involved with this week’s new episode, with Steven Ogg or Christine Evangelista possibly filling out the spot on the couch, as well.

After spending a week with Carol and Morgan at the Kingdom, The Cell will pick up in the aftermath of Negan’s introduction as we follow a hostaged Daryl to Negan’s Sanctuary home. The Saviors will do their best to break down the last remaining Dixon brother and force him into their methods of serving to survive.

Don’t expect to see any more of Carol and Morgan’s adventures at the Kingdom this week. In fact, don’t expect to see Rick or any of the Alexandrians, either. The Cell will take place entirely surrounding Negan, Daryl and Dwight, as it follows the lead of recent seasons of The Walking Dead which show one group’s journey at a time.

As the show explores Negan’s home and the rules enforces there, audiences will also learn a bit more about Dwight’s conflicts both internal and external. After debuting in the first half of Season 6, the character returned before the season’s close with a scarred face, leaving all morals at home. He killed Denise Cloyd with an unexpected shot from Daryl’s crossbow. Such actions and choices are still weighing heavily on the character portrayed by Austin Amelio.

Following Sunday’s new episode of The Walking Dead, ComicBook.com will host its live interactive after show After the Dead on The Walking Dead on ComicBook.com’s Facebook page. Be sure to tune in for exclusive interviews, inside looks at the set, and giveaways.

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.
