Avi Nash is headed to AMC. ScreenRant reports the Silicon Valley star has joined season eight of The Walking Dead.

Nash’s role on the zombie drama has not yet been revealed, but it is rumored he will be playing Abbud, “an innately likable Muslim-American whose nerves are, let’s say, jangled, because he’s flown solo for too long in zombieland.”

Season eight of The Walking Dead kicks off on AMC on October 22nd at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

What do you think? Do you watch The Walking Dead? Are you excited for the new season this fall?
