"Gone Girl" star Kim Dickens is set to play the female lead in the forthcoming "Walking Dead" spinoff.
The actress will join actor Cliff Curtis in the as-yet-untitled series pilot, which is called "Cobalt" for now, and all the zombie action will move from Georgia to a west coast setting.
According to Deadline.com, Dickens beat out several other actresses who read for the role. She'll play a guidance counselor named Nancy Tompkins, who is also a single mother of two teens.
Robert Kirkman, who created "The Walking Dead" graphic novel which the series is based upon, co-created the series spinoff with Dave Erickson.
Dickens, who was praised for her work in "Gone Girl," has starred in past TV series including "Sons of Anarchy" and HBO's "Deadwood" and "Treme."
