So we already know–AMC is taking Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead, a highly acclaimed comic book series about a world run by zombies, and bring it to television.  Main protagonist Rick Grimes and his partner Shane have already been cast with Andrew Lincoln and Jon Bernthal filling in their shoes, respectively.  And now Rick’s wife has been chosen.  Prison Break‘s Sarah Waynes Callies will be Lori Grimes, the female lead.  It’s all starting to come together now, and man did I just get even more excited about this show!  Callies rocked it as Dr. Sara Tendredit on Prison Break and I can’t wait to see her become a zombie killin’ machine come this October.

Other cast additions include Laurie Holden who will play Andrea, one of the human survivors, and Steven Yeun as Glenn.
