EXCLUSIVE: Gaius Charles is set as a lead opposite Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan in Isle of the Dead, AMC’s upcoming New York City-set The Walking Dead spinoff series.
Isle of the Dead sees Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.
Charles will play Izaak. He’s confident, ruthless, and unyielding in the pursuit of what he believes is justice, with the force of his will and his menace. Izaak enjoys his work and intersperses humor with the terror he incites. This is a family man, devoted to building a safe world for his wife and daughters. His journey unearths a loss he is haunted by. He has patience and resilience and walks rather than runs from his mistakes.
The six-episode series, which will launch on AMC and AMC+ in 2023, is exec produced by Eli Jorné; Scott M. Gimple, who is chief content officer of The Walking Dead universe; and Cohan and Morgan.
Known for his fan-favorite role as Brian “Smash” Williams on Friday Night Lights, Charles’ recent television credits include guest/recurring roles on The Wonder Years, Queens and Roswell, New Mexico. The Grey’s Anatomy and Taken alum can currently be seen on the big screen in Krystin Ver Linden’s debut feature Alice, which world premiered at the recent Sundance Film Festival, and in Land of Dreams, premiering at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. He is repped by Gersh and Principal Entertainment LA.

The Walking Dead star Melissa McBride has quit the forthcoming spin-off featuring Daryl and Carol.Sources have reportedly confirmed to TVLine that McBride will no longer be involved in the offshoot and it will now focus on Daryl instead.“Melissa McBride has given life to one of the most interesting, real, human and popular characters in The Walking Dead universe,” an AMC spokesperson said in a statement.“Unfortunately, she is no longer able to participate in the previously announced spin-off focused on the Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier characters, which will be set and filmed in Europe this summer and premiere next year.“Relocating to Europe became logistically untenable for Melissa at this time. We know fans will be disappointed by this news, but The Walking Dead universe continues to grow and expand in interesting ways and we very much hope to see Carol again in the near future.”The spin-off was confirmed in 2020 with Reedus admitting how it changed following the flagship show’s original ending.Reedus explained how The Walking Dead planted a seed for the spin-off in the season 10 episode Lines We Cross, in which Daryl and Carol muse on the idea of going to New Mexico together.The characters were going to leave the show while it was still airing, but that changed as the news broke that the flagship series will end after season 11.“I didn’t know the flagship show would end,” Reedus admitted at the time.
Melissa McBride, who has starred as Carol in The Walking Dead since the series launch, will not be part of a planned untitled spinoff slated for 2023. The so-called Carol-Daryl spinoff was to be focused on her and Norman Reedus’ TWD characters.
