Fear the Walking Dead is adding another series regular: Orange is the New Black actress Elizabeth Rodriguez has joined the Walking Dead companion series, EW has learned exclusively.
The actress plays Daya’s mother Aleida Diaz on the Netflix series and had an arc on NBC’s Grimm last year as Agent Chavez. In Fear the Walking Dead, she’s been cast in a mysterious role that sources are keeping quiet about. But given the timing of the casting, it’s safe to assume Rodriguez joins the show after the first episode, since the pilot has already been shot.
