A few The Walking Dead actors have gotten themselves a promotion heading into the eighth season of the popular zombie drama.

According to TVLine, three actors, Steven Ogg, Katelyn Nacon, and Pollyanna McIntosh, have all been made series regulars for next season, making them all bigger pieces in the puzzle of the AMC hit.

Ogg plays the right-hand man of main villain Negan portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Nacon, meanwhile, plays Enid, a Hilltop resident and love interest of Rick's son Carl, while McIntosh plays Jadis, the leader of the mysterious Scavengers.

If Ogg's name looks familiar, it may be because the actor is also well known for providing the voice and the motion-capture work for the character Trevor in Grand Theft Auto V, as well as guest appearances in recent shows including Westworld and Better Call Saul.
