Four Walking Dead stars have been bumped to series regulars: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Tom Payne, Austin Amelio and Xander Berkeley, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Morgan was introduced as the villainous Negan in last season’s finale, a major character in the comics series on which the show is based.  Payne plays Jesus, Amelio plays Dwight, and Berkeley plays Gregory.

The Walking Dead returns for a seventh season on AMC in October.
