Alexandra Breckenridge is added to the cast of "The Walking Dead" season 5. The actress, who starred as Moira O'Hara's younger self on "American Horror Story: Murder House", has landed a recurring role on the hit AMC series, with an option to be promoted to a series regular in season six.

Her role is still kept under wraps, but a casting breakdown describes her character Samantha "as an attractive, strong, smart, charming and articulate woman with a vulnerable side. She's a mother with a bohemian spirit, and a talented artist." AMC says the casting breakdown and character name may both likely be a placeholder.

"Walking Dead" just launched its fifth season on Sunday, October 12 on AMC. The show has been renewed for a sixth season for a 2015 premiere.

Breckenridge also appeared in the third installment of FX's "American Horror Story" as Kaylee and has voiced various characters on FOX's animated series "Family Guy".
