The Walking Dead cast and crew will be assembling almost in their entirety at Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta this year.

Just days after announcing Rick Grimes actor Andrew Lincoln would be attending the convention in October, Walker Stalker also revealed executive producer, VFX guru, and director of some of the series' best episodes Greg Nicotero will be attending.

Nicotero has attended several Walker Stalker conventions in the past, offering free autographs for fans of the AMC series and his work. The executive producer also plays host to a panel in the Georgia World Congress Center's biggest hall.

The addition of Nicotero and Lincoln only increases the slew of impressive and exciting names attending the convention. Also in attendance of the Atlanta convention will be Melissa McBride, Norman Reedus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Tom Payne, Lennie James, Khary Payton, Cooper Andrews, Christian Serratos, Alanna Masterson, Pollyanna McIntosh, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Xander Berkeley, Josh McDermitt, Steven Ogg, Austin Amelio, and Katelyn Nacon.

The celebrity guests extend beyond the actors whose characters remain on the show as well. Former stars of The Walking Dead who will attend include Jon Bernthal, Scott Wilson, Michael Cudlitz, Sonequa Martin-Green, Dallas Roberts, Michael Rooker, David Morrissey, IronE Singleton, and Michael Traynor.

The convention will be held from October 27th through October 29th, the week of The Walking Dead's Season Eight premiere which is directed by Nicotero.

In addition to The Walking Dead, stars of other popular series such as Sons of Anarchy will also be in attendance.
