Deadline is reporting that Robert Palmer Watkins (General Hospital, Last Three Days) has joined the second and final season of The Walking Dead spinoff series The Walking Dead: World Beyond in a recurring role. The actor previously guest-starred in an episode in the first season as Lieutenant Frank Newton.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond delves into a new mythology and story that follows the first generation raised in a surviving civilization of the post-apocalyptic world. Two sisters along with two friends leave a place of safety and comfort to brave dangers, known and unknown, living and undead on an important quest. Pursued by those who wish to protect them and those who wish to harm them, a tale of growing up and transformation unfurls across dangerous terrain, challenging everything they know about the world, themselves, and each other. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. But all of them will find the truths they seek.
