NYCC 2019: Paola Lázaro Cast as The Princess for THE WALKING DEAD Season 10

October 5, 2019 Off By Michael Stagno

Another HUGE casting announcement for Season 10 of The Walking Dead was made at New York Comic Con, aside from the return of Lauren Cohan‘s Maggie character, that another fan-favorite from the comics is en route in Juanita Sanchez, aka The Princess, to be played by Paola Lázaro.

Sanchez is a spear-wielding, goggle-wearing, fuzzy pink jacket-rocking, purple hair-having free spirit. Don’t let that description fool you because she knows how to wield a gun as well. She’s the last-known living person from Pittsburgh and gave herself the nickname, The Princess of Pittsburgh, because using ‘Queen’ would make her sound too old. She joins the group’s convoy to the Commonwealth, bound for Ohio, in the final chapters of the TWD comics (The Walking Dead #171).

Season 9 of AMC‘s The Walking Dead is currently underway. No news yet as to whether Lázaro will make a cameo this season, but keep an eye out for her in Season 10, come October of 2020!
