The Walking Dead Season 11 Set Photo Reveals First Look at Mercer

As production continues on the upcoming eleventh season of The Walking Dead, a new behind-the-scenes photo from the Atlanta set of the final installment of AMC’s hit horror drama has surfaced online (via Twitter). The new set photo provides us our first look at series newcomer Michael James Shaw (Constantine) as Mercer in the fan-favorite character’s comic-accurate signature red armor. The series is scheduled to make its return this year on August 22.

In The Walking Dead comics, Mercer was first introduced as a leader of the Commonwealth military, who has prior experience in the U.S. Marine corps. The character is also known as the romantic interest to Juanita, a.k.a Princess, who is being portrayed by Paola Lázaro in the series.

The Walking Dead is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew, and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived, and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind, and there are more stories to tell.
