Season 11 kicks off this Summer, and Deadline is reporting tonight on some casting news for the new season. Michael James Shaw (“Constantine,” “Limitless”) has signed on.
Michael James Shaw will be playing Mercer in the show’s eleventh and final season. The character debuted in Issue #177 of Robert Kirkman’s comic, on which the show is based.
