In addition to these photos, it’s also revealed that Seth Gilliam will be joining the cast as Father Gabriel.

“I only read the comic book where Father Gabriel was introduced,” Gilliam revealed. “Which I think was episode 61 in the comics. I didn’t read anything before that, and I haven’t read anything after that. I discovered from reading about the show that often times characters’ names and journeys are kind of crisscrossed and mismatched, so I thought if I did read too much I might be giving myself a lot of information that would be useless, or just outright wrong. So I figured, like with everything, I’d just take the script and try to fill him out the best I possibly can.”
