The premiere date of  "The Walking Dead" Season 7 is drawing near, which is definitely great news for fans but here is some fresh update about a casting call.

According to reports, the producers of the zombie series have given a new casting call for an actress to essay the role of Brion. She is an educated leader with a poker face who maintains a confident air about herself and does not let others get a whiff of her motives. She is confident, likes to keep silent and does not show much emotion.

It is being said that her character is based on Alpha- the comic book character, who is the leader of The Whisperers. Well, rumors have started swirling around, especially after the release of the Season 7 trailer, which shows Tara and Heath encountering a group of walkers, who do not resemble the dead seen before on the show. However, it seems unlikely that Alpha or Brion would be coming this season.

Season 7 belongs to Negan and Robert Kirkman had also confirmed this during the San Diego Comic-Con that the show has other storylines to follow before The Whisperers can be introduced. He had categorically said that this group is far off and the show has an All Out War and Ezekiel to get to. So, when is the group and the intriguing leader going to be introduced?

It is being speculated that the second half of season 7, will see them. Reports state that the leader being cast would be a recurring guest star and he/she is set to appear in the tenth and twelfth episodes with a chance to return in the penultimate and final episodes. The tenth episode is also said to mark the entry of another group and the odds are in favor of Pete from Oceanside as well as Magna. The latter is a tough leader of a small group that Jesus comes across during a dangerous outing.

Well, it looks like fans should brace up for not just the dreadful Negan. More villains are also getting ready to ready to take you by surprise.
