Sarah Wayne Callies (“Prison Break”) will star opposite Andrew Lincoln in AMC’s TV adaptation of the Robert Kirkman comic book series “The Walking Dead.”

“The Walking Dead” follows police officer Rick Grimes (Lincoln) as he and his family struggle to survive in a zombie apocalypse. Callies will play Grimes’ troubled wife Lori.

Well, at least it isn’t a vampire apocalypse.

The series is produced by Frank Darabont (The Mist, The Green Mile) and is set to debut on AMC in October.
