Dillahunt is reportedly a huge fan of The Walking Dead universe, and campaigned on his Twitter account to play Negan following rumours linking him to the role, but ultimately lost out to Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
UPDATE: It has also been announced that Jenna Elfman (Dharma & Greg) has joined the fourth season as a series regular.
Fear the Walking Dead will return for its fourth season in 2018, and is also set to feature a crossover with the main show.
