The Walking Dead has shared a first look at Hilarie Burton as Lucille – check it out below.
Burton is set to play Negan’s late wife in the bonus “bridge” episodes between season 10 and season 11, airing next year.
Burton will star opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan, who is also her husband in real life. Hilarie played Peyton Sawyer in One Tree Hill for six seasons, from 2003 to 2009, and hosted MTV’s Total Request Live.
Check out the production trailer here, which features a glimpse of Burton with bright green hair:
Confirming her casting earlier this month, Burton wrote on Twitter: “Been pretty hard to keep this a secret. But I love working with @JDMorgan. I love watching him become #Negan and take on that swagger.
“And I love the @TheWalkingDead family. They’ve been a part of our family for ages and I’m so grateful for their kindness. Xoxo #hereslucille”
