The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers: Alexandra Breckenridge Joins Cast in Recurring Role

The cast of The Walking Dead has grown quite substantially in Season 5 with the introduction of new characters such as Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam). Another new cast member is on her way, and this one could be sticking around for a while.

Deadline reports Alexandra Breckenridge has joined Season 5 of the show in a recurring role, though she has the potential to become a series regular. Most likely, she would play a character from the comics, but AMC released what is likely another fake name and description to throw people off the scent. Deadline describes the role as "an attractive, strong, smart, charming and articulate woman who also has a vulnerable side. She's a mother with a bohemian spirit, and a talented artist."

The Season 5 premiere of The Walking Dead broke its old rating record with an explosive episode, and AMC has already renewed the series for Season 6. So it looks like Breckenridge could be on the show for a while, unless the series throws a curveball at us.

Breckenridge has starred on American Horror Story and True Blood.

A possible candidate for the actress' character is Jessie, Rick's love interest from the Alexandria safe zone. She was a mother who became smitten with Rick, and the two eventually began a sexual relationship. Unfortunately, she got eaten by a pack of zombies.
