Even though The Walking Dead came to a close several years ago, the connection fans have with its cast has never wavered. That's exactly why we continue to follow them as they move on to new projects. We constantly want to see what they’ll do next.
Will they keep us on the edge of our seats with a horror flick? Make us laugh until our sides hurt in a comedy? Or maybe surprise us in a dramatic role we never saw coming? Whatever the project, we can’t help but be invested because these are performers who have earned our trust, our excitement, and our loyalty.
In fact, news just broke that a fan-favorite Walking Dead actor is stepping into the lead role of an upcoming horror-thriller. We shared everything we know about their latest project right below!
Walking Dead star Ross Marquand takes the lead in Unknown Company
If you're a true Walking Dead fan, you should be very familiar with Ross Marquand. He’s the actor who brought Aaron, the compassionate and resourceful recruiter from Alexandria, to life on the zombie show. If it weren't for Aaron, Rick’s group might never have discovered the safety, structure, and hope of Alexandria. Although Aaron endured his trials and tribulations, he ended up being one of the lucky survivors. At the end of the show, Aaron is still alive and well.
Since The Walking Dead's ending, Marquand has continued to expand his acting career. He's taken on a variety of exciting projects in film and television. Now, we've just learned that he'll be starring in Unknown Company. According to Deadline, the cameras have already stopped rolling on this horror-thriller flick. The film is now moving into post-production, where the footage will be carefully edited to perfection.
Vincent Talenti directed Unknown Company from a screenplay written by Gavin Hignight. The story is set in the final days of World War II and centers on a small group of American soldiers sent on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. Their objective is to locate the wreckage of a mysterious, unidentified object. But what they discover is far more disturbing than anything they expected.
Joining Marquand in the cast are other talented actors such as Hugh Scott, Zak Steiner, Mace Coronel, Kevin Brooks, Sarah Hay, and Nolan North. Although no character details were revealed, we can tell from the official production stills shared by Deadline that Marquand, Scott, Steiner, and Brooks will be playing some of the soldiers.
However, this is all that we know about Unknown Company at the moment. It's unknown if the film be released in theaters or on streaming. A release date wasn't even revealed. Now that the movie is in the post-production phase, more details should be coming soon!
