"If there were a Mt. Deadmore, Kim Dickens' face would be on it," said Scott M. Gimple, Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead universe. "Madison Clark is a foundational character to TWDU - heroic, complex, an everyperson who becomes a warrior and then a force of benevolence. Kim Dickens' raw talent, strength, and brilliance will electrify TWDU once more and we couldn't be luckier to have her back."
In the second half of Season 7 (which returns on Sunday, April 17 at 9/8c.), months have passed after the nuclear blast and the only one thriving is Victor Strand. Having built a fiefdom, he callously selects who will have a chance at life. The other members of the group have suffered immensely, but out of that, has come a fierce determination to live, even if it means taking Strand's Tower by force and continuing the search for Padre, a mythical place no one is sure really exists. Now the reluctant leader to Teddy's former follows, Alicia is plagued by a mysterious illness and the repercussions of her past actions. Trying to maintain hope that he will be reunited with his family, Morgan knows Alicia is key to their survival.
