Not everyone in the cast of The Walking Dead is active on social media. A few notable cast don't even have Instagram s, like Josh McDermitt (who plays Eugene) and Josh Hamilton (who plays Lance Hornsby). Others, however, love to share anything and everything on social media, like Norman Reedus.
The Walking Dead is one of those shows that has had a revolving door of cast , from main cast who have lasted a season or longer then eventually killed off, to iconic actors like Michael Biehn and Robert Patrick (who were only in a single episode). But when looking at the current main cast, the four actors with the most Instagram followers have them in the millions.
Cassady McClincy (Lydia) – 513K Followers
Her character Lydia (one of the underused characters that need more screen time on The Walking Dead) might be serious most of the time, but the actor who plays her, Cassady McClincy, is all smiles.
One of the youngest cast , the teenager posts plenty of photos with other of the cast along with personal photos of her out and about. She isn't afraid to get silly either, with fun selfies juxtaposed with more posed, professional-looking images.
Khary Payton (Ezekiel) – 557K Followers
In addition to playing Ezekiel on The Walking Dead, Khary Payton is also known by kids as the voice of Cyborg in various animated films and video games, including Teen Titans Go! It's clear he has a big personality from both his role there and interviews on after-shows like Talking Dead. This same personality also shines through on his Instagram.
Payton promotes lots of his projects, including Young Justice on HBO Max and other Walking Dead-related fans events and specials. The best photo, however, is this one of him with someone dressed as a large tiger, an adorable homage to his former best friend on the show, Shiva.
Melissa McBride (Carol) – 581K Followers
This isn't a verified Instagram , but since it is followed by Greg Nicotero, it's safe to assume that this is Melissa McBride's actual Instagram . Indeed, along with show-related posts, there are other images from behind-the-scenes, magazine covers, and lots of images of McBride with Norman Reedus (who plays her close friend Daryl on the show).
There aren't many personal photos on the page, which is almost solely dedicated to the show. Indeed, McBride hasn't done much acting beyond The Walking Dead, having previously worked behind the camera as a casting director.
Ross Marquand (Aaron) – 592K Followers
Known not only for his role as Aaron but also for being a talented celebrity impersonator, Ross Marquand's Instagram is an eclectic mix of posts. From images from the show to his character's likeness as a Simpsons character and selfies while he is out around town, there's a lot of activity.
He packs all of this, however, in just 135 posts to date, despite his high number of followers. The pics include both him clean-shaven as well as long-bearded looks. There are even ones where his head is shaven completely too. However, some images that might impress the viewers as well are his artistic black and white photos.
Cailey Fleming (Judith) – 630K Followers
It's not surprising that the youngest cast member on the show, and the bravest child character on The Walking Dead, would rank among the top 10 for Instagram followers. At 14, she is technically allowed to have an Instagram that isn't managed by a parent, but just barely.
The is full of personal photos of her with family and friends, stills from episodes of the show, and lots of selfies. If fans didn't already love the character of Judith, flipping through actor Cailey Fleming's page will only make them love her even more.
Lauren Ridloff (Connie) – 798K Followers
One of the more accomplished actors from the show, Lauren Ridloff starred in the movie Sound of Metal, and as the lead on Broadway in Children of a Lesser God. In The Walking Dead, she plays Connie, who has a special knack for using her instincts to take down enemies of all kinds and survive through just about anything.
This same fearlessness is shown in her Instagram where she posts photos showing off everything, from awards to fabulous fashion, fierce poses, and time out with fellow celebrities.
Christian Serratos (Rosita) – 2.6M Followers
Christian Serratos ranks is one of the most popular cast and her does not disappoint. The actor who plays Rosita, and who also starred as Selena in Selena: The Series on Netflix, posts a wide mix of images.
It's mainly selfies of all kinds, as well as posed photos at various events for brands like Dior. There's plenty of fantastic fashion on display on her as well as images of her on various magazine covers, from Vogue to Elle.
Lauren Cohan (Maggie) – 4.4M Followers
A fan-favorite character, Maggie remains one of the key of the survivor team in the 11th and final season. Fans are also looking forward to the spin-off series starring her and Negan - although there are a lot of things Maggie needs to resolve before the end of The Walking Dead.
Lauren Cohan has only posted 13 times on Instagram currently, which are mostly images relating to The Walking Dead, with a few selfies in between (including ones of Cohan on a beach from her Women's Health magazine cover shoot).
Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) – 4.4M Followers
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is another Walking Dead character who has accrued a massive fanbase on Instagram, with 4.4 million followers having already checked his page out. Morgan, who has played the longest-running primary antagonist on the show (though he has since redeemed himself), has also had roles in Watchmen.
His posts are a mix of images from the show as well as personal photos of him and his family, including his two young kids and wife.
Norman Reedus (Daryl) – 7.3M Followers
Fans could probably have guessed that Norman Reedus, who plays fan-favorite character Daryl, one of the few characters from season 1 of The Walking Dead who is still alive would have the most Instagram followers of all the main cast on the show. He may very well have the most followers of any actor ever on the show.
He is not only one of the most popular cast but also the most active, with more than 3,600 posts to entertain his millions of fans. Reedus often posts quirky, strange, and humorous things, from memes to weirdly created images and even seemingly non-sensical things. Alongside images promoting his professional work, there are photos of his kids as well.
