Not everybody gets to be a hero, but being a series regular on The Walking Dead is still a thrill.

For Steven Ogg, even though the reaction to his character Simon is “I want to hate you so bad, but I don’t,” he couldn’t be happier to officially join the cast for Season 8.

Ogg and his fellow new cast members make one downside clear in a new video though: Nothing guarantees survival.

Ogg, Katelyn Nacon (Enid) and Pollyanna McIntosh (Jadis) are all over the moon to join the cast.

“Being cast as a season regular on The Walking Dead was the biggest thrill of my career,” says McIntosh.

Even as they look forward to showing off their characters, Ogg, Nacon and McIntosh acknowledge every day could be their character’s last.

“None of know how what’s going to happen… so I have to really live in the moment,” says McIntosh.
