The Walking Dead’s Xander Berkeley stars in The Republic of Sarah
By Renee Hansen
Over the 10 seasons of The Walking Dead, there have been many characters you love to hate. One of those was the leader of the Hilltop Community, Gregory. Xander Berkeley did an outstanding job in his portrayal of the former Hilltop leader. Currently, you can see Berkeley in the CWs The Republic of Sarah.
The CW series The Republic of Sarah aired its pilot episode on June 14. The series is set in Greylock, New Hampshire, where a vein of coltan, an extremely valuable mineral, was discovered. Now a mining company is trying to take over the community in order to extract the mineral, which will be a detriment to Greylock. A rebellious teen, Sarah (Stella Baker), organizes the residents to form their own country to save their town.
Berekely has been cast as Paul Cooper, father of Sarah. His first appearance is July 26 in the seventh episode titled “Sanctuary.” He shared the news on his IG page, posing the question of whether viewers feel Paul is a good guy or not so much.
