THR报道，很快《行尸走肉》就会出现一个新角色了。Josh McDermitt将会在《行尸走肉》第四季中出演一个名叫Eugene Porter的教授，他是个高中自然科学老师，遇见了Rick他们并加入了组织。

In the comics, Eugene travels with Rosita and Abraham. Eugene claims to know the source of the zombie outbreak, but is found out to be lying.

在原版漫画中，Eugene和将会和另外两个名叫Rosita和Abraham的角色一起出现。Eugene最开始说自己知道丧尸之疫爆发的原因，但结果证明他在撒谎。

Still, he plays an important role in Rick's group as his background in science is valuable to have around. New showrunner Scott Gimple tells THR, "I love those characters from the book, they are very different flavors of comic book characters than we've seen on the show."

另外，因为他自然科学老师的身份背景使他成为Rick团队中一个重要角色。《行尸走肉》新任执行制片人Scott Gimple接受THR采访时说，“我喜欢原著里这3个角色的故事，他们和其他角色有着很大的不同。”

He also says the show will begin focusing on other locations, besides the prison. While the first two episodes are set there, things will broaden a bit starting with the third.

制片人还说，这一季我们的关注点不仅仅是在监狱，还会关注其他地方。不过头两集的主体还是监狱，从第三集开始活动范围会被扩大。
