‘Talking Dead’ spoilers: Nathan Fillion joins Danai Gurira, Austin Nichols, Chris Hardwick

Tonight’s new episode of “The Walking Dead” has a heck of a lot of hype around it, which is for the most part expected when you consider that it is following up one of the most intense episodes that the AMC show has ever put on.

As for now who is joining Chris Hardwick on the “Talking Dead” aftershow, we of course gave you that information in the title! Still, it’s worth mentioning in greater detail.

Nathan Fillion – The “Castle” and former “Firefly” star will be the main celebrity guest this week following up the appearance from Carrie Underwood after the midseason premiere. This is not the first time that Fillion has appeared, and given his love for genre shows this’ll make for a fun appearance.

Danai Gurira – We hope that this is a sign that this is a very big Michonne episode coming up, especially since it’s been some time since we’ve seen something like that on the series. With Rick mourning the loss of Jessie, she could help to comfort him in her own way.

Austin Nichols – Nichols plays Spencer on the show, and is a little more of a newcomer to the aftershow as a main guest. It’ll be nice to get more of his insight, especially since the crew of Alexandria folks is starting to be trimmed down now. At the moment, he, Aaron, and Denise are three of the more prevalent familiar faces remaining.

Does the lack of a “surprise guest” mean that we’re not going to see someone die in this episode? We certainly wouldn’t say at this point that it means anything at all…
