Walking Dead universe actors Robert Patrick and Nick Stahl in new film

The Walking Dead universe has a vast array of actors, from those like Melissa McBride and Norman Reedus, who are OGs of the franchise, to others who have played background characters killed in their first scene. Two actors who have had a shorter time in the universe include Robert Patrick, who portrayed Mays on the episode “One More” of the flagship series’ tenth season, and Nick Stahl, who played Riley in Fear the Walking Dead and the web series Dead in the Water. Now the pair will star in a gothic horror that will air on Shudder in August titled What Josiah Saw.

Deadline reports that Patrick, well known for his role in Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Stahl, who starred in The Man Without a Face as a child, will team up in a new horror film. What Josiah Saw sees Patrick as Josiah and Scott Haze as his youngest son, Thomas, the only one of his children who still have contact with him. When Josiah experiences some strange visions, he decides changes need to be made and he seeks to reunite, after two decades, with his two older children, Eli (Stahl) and Mary (Kelli Garner). They meet at their old farmhouse, hoping to close a haunting chapter of their lives.
