The spoilers about the young girl and grandmother casting, plus the news of the mid-August filming at Jekyll Island, Georgia lead some of us to think the "new world" includes the Oceanside community as well as The Kingdom, The Sanctuary, ASZ and Hilltop.
We've all read comments from Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, Greg Nicotero and Gale Ann Hurd on how "the world opens up" with new communities in s 7. Seeing the Sanctuary (Saviors) & The Kingdom (Ezekiel) will be new for viewers, but it is also possible yet another group enters the story.
Oceanside first appears in Issue #139, so it would be coming earlier if we see it this upcoming season.
Here is some comic info about Oceanside, connections to the ASZ and where it fits into the story we may see on our screens in season 7-b or the MSF.
From TWD Wiki
"...Oceanside is a community of survivors living on the east coast of the United States, in or near the state of Virginia. They began trading with the communities of Alexandria, Sanctuary, Hilltop, and Kingdom sometime after the end of the war against Negan. After leaving the Kingdom, Michonne worked for an undisclosed period of time before returning to Alexandria. Oceanside predominantly supplies the communities with seafood..."
"The community formed on the east coast at some point after the outbreak, living primarily off the ocean. They were discovered by Siddiq as he made his way north up the coast from Miami. After making it to Alexandria, he informed Rick of Oceanside's existence, and Alexandria and the other communities began trading with Oceanside for fish.
After mysteriously leaving the other communities, Michonne, at some point, began working on fishing expeditions from Oceanside."
Inhabitants
Paige - A female newcomer.
Samantha Fairbanks - A female newcomer and sister of Alex and James. (Determinant)
Alex Fairbanks - A child newcomer and brother of James and Sam.
James Fairbanks - A child newcomer and brother of Alex and Sam.
Oak - Fisherman. (Determinant)
Other unnamed inhabitants.
Former Inhabitants
Michonne - Fisherwoman.
Pete - Fisherman.
Siddiq - Fisherman...."
Seems possible that Jennie, played by Sydney Park and her grandmother Naomi, played by Deborah May, may have a tie, of some sort, or not. We know they have been filming since June of course, and the Jekyll Island filming comes after they filmed over 2 months. Perhaps they came from there originally or the August filming might show their backstory. Or perhaps they have no connection at all of course, with the grandmother-granddaughter family structure being just a coincidence. Thoughts?
TSDF ""From TSDF : There has been some speculation that Kiernan Shipka and Anna Gunn were playing these roles. We aren’t sure where that came from but that is false. In fact, we believe “Jennie” will be played by young actress Sydney Park. Grandmotherly “Naomi” will be played by none other than veteran actress Deborah May whose most recent role was as President Geller on “The Last Ship.”
Of course, Jennie and Naomi are only casting call names and their characters will most certainly have different names in the show. Both of these characters have been filming this week for episode 6. More news to come! "
