Fear the Walking Dead gets new characters in Season 3:
A new character, one whose name and the actress we are yet to learn, will take the reigns as the first female villain in the world of Fear the Walking Dead when the series returns in 2017. "There's gonna be a new prominent character, who we're gonna meet south of the border, who is going to have an impact on Nick and Luciana, and Strand most likely," says executive producer and co-creator Dave Erickson. "She will become somebody, I think, who can rival any of the powerful characters we've had on the show or will have on the show. The idea is to create opposing forces on either side of the border and see what happens when they end up in conflict and what happens if our family is on opposite sides of the conflict."
Also joining the cast of Fear the Walking Dead in Season 3 is Sons of Anarchy alum Dayton Callie, who plays Russell, a part of the north-of-the-border militia introduced in the closing moments of the show's second season as he meets Ofelia. Callie will be reunited with Kim Dickens, who he worked with on Sons of Anarchy and Deadwood.
