Just days after Jeffrey Dean Morgan starred alongside his wife Hilarie Burton in the Season 10 finale of The Walking Dead, the actor will have another familiar face on the show.
The 54-year-old actor took to Instagram on Thursday afternoon, sharing a snap of his 11-year-old song Augustus in zombie makeup.
While he didn’t offer specifics of when his son would appear, though it will certainly happen sometime in the show’s 11th and final season.

He also had a small hole in his neck via prosthetics with black makeup around his forehead and eyes.
The youngster did have a bit of a smile in the snap, as his proud father explained what was happening in the caption.
