Three Walking Dead universe actors cast in Amazon MGM movie Sarah's Oil

Deadline reports that filming for Amazon MGM Studios' theatrical drama Sarah's Oil has wrapped. Sonequa Martin-Green, her husband Kendric Green, who starred in The Walking Dead, and Garret Dillahunt, who starred in Fear the Walking Dead, are part of the cast for the new movie.

The story of Sarah's Oil is inspired by Tonya Bolden's book Searching for Sarah Rector: The Richest Black Girl in America. Set in the early 1900s, the story follows 11-year-old Sarah Rector, a girl of African American and Native American descent, born in the Oklahoma Territory. She was allotted approximately 160 acres of barren land as part of the integration of the Indian and Oklahoma territories to form the state of Oklahoma. Though the land wasn't fit for crops, Sarah placed her hope on the fact the land would be rich in oil. Her hopes were realized, and as she came against the greedy oil barrens, with the help of her friends and family, she became the first African American woman to become a millionaire.

Sarah's Oil was written by Cyrus Nowrasteh from the script he co-wrote with Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh. The director will produce with John Shepherd, Derrick Williams, Kingdom Story Company’s Kevin Downes, Andrew Erwin, and Daryl Lefever, The Wonder Project’s Jon Erwin, and Levi for Wyldwood Productions.

Zachary Levi and Naya Desir-Johnson lead the film as Bert Smith and Sarah Rector, respectively. They are joined by Sonequa Martin-Green, Garret Dillahunt, Bridget Regan, Kenric Green, Adyan Copes and Stelio Savante.

Sarah's Oil will premiere in theaters on December 25, 2025.
