Fear the Walking Dead actress Alycia Debnam-Carey has been cast as the lead in an upcoming psychological drama series for Hulu. Deadline reports that Saint X is filming in the Dominican Republic and this role became available when Victoria Pedretti (You), who was initially cast as the lead, separated the series.

Fear the Walking Dead is scheduled to begin filming for the eighth season this summer in Savannah, Georgia. Fear TWD had previously filmed in Austin, Texas but late in 2021, announced filming for this series would be moving to Georgia.

What does this mean for Debnam-Carey’s Fear TWD character Alicia?  During the penultimate episode of season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead, Alicia broke from the main group to remain in Texas and warn others of the dangers there. This was Debnam-Carey’s final episode of the series. Many fans believed she would return in a later season, but AMC recently announced that season 8 of Fear TWD would be the last.
