And the survivor count continues for Season Two of the hit AMC series “The Walking Dead” as more casting news has broken this morning, and of course we have the lowdown for ya right here. Ready to meet the Greenes?

According to TV Guide, Lauren Cohan (“Supernatural”, “The Vampire Diaries”, “Chuck”) has been cast as Glenn’s (Steven Yuen) love interest, Maggie Greene, and veteran actor Scott Wilson (In Cold Blood, Monster, Junebug) has been cast as her father, Hershel.

“He’s a veterinarian with a great sense of humanity and a very unique take on the Walkers,” says producer Gale Anne Hurd. “Not everyone in his family survives. Scott was chosen because of his tremendous scope and gravitas.”

In this latest season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” TV series, the survivors arrive at Hershel’s Farm, where we will meet Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson), a vet (as in a veterinarian); his daughter, Maggie (Lauren Cohan); and Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince), the middle-aged ranch foreman who’s such a sweetheart that he all but loses it when he accidentally shoots a fellow survivor.
