The Walking Dead may find itself a new character played by one of the biggest television actresses of all time.

Season 5 Release Date Announced?

Bloody Disgusting had revealed that Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl is reportedly in talks for a role in the next season of the zombie series. She is supposedly being considered for a central character at Terminus.

According to the site, this could create a stir for a couple of reasons- Heigl might be too big of a name for the show considering that she's known for Grey's Anatomy as well as movie roles, including Knocked Up, 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth. Another reason for a stir is due to rumors that the actress has become a diva ever since she left Grey's Anatomy. Apparently, some media outlets have called her one of the "most hated celebrities in Hollywood."

As for the rest of the cast, it appears that a villain will be played by UGA football player Chase Vasser based on a tweet he wrote on Friday.

"oh snap just got offered my first Vilan role. #sopumped #soblessed. Should I do it?" he wrote.

The Walking Dead Season 5 is expected to premiere in October 2014 on AMC, and according to The Stir, Vasser may have mistakenly announced the release date on his Twitter page.

"It's official! Tune in on Oct. 13 on AMC for 'The Walking Dead! #cannibaltwist," he wrote. The tweet was apparently deleted just a few moments later.
