The big new addition to The Walking Dead this year is Khary Payton, who’ll be playing the comics character ‘King’ Ezekiel. Ruler of a large community of survivors known as the Kingdom, he’s a wise and eccentric man, who should prove helpful in the fight against Negan.

Oh, and he has a pet tiger called Shiva, who is fiercely loyal to him, eats zombies, and yes, is coming to the show!

What’s not clear is just how much we’ll see of Ezekiel - and even less how much we’ll see of Shiva, which may be restricted depending on budget. The Walking Dead already has a lot of characters to try and balance, so it’ll be interesting to see just how much room they’re able to make for the King.
