A New Love Blooms Amidst Chaos
Merced, the superstar behind Dina, is all set to steal the show as Ellie Williams’ (played by Ramsey) new love interest. Imagine trying to find love when scary, fungus-infected creatures overrun the world. Talk about a challenging first-date scenario! But Dina and Ellie aren’t just any ordinary couple; they’re on a mission to survive with Ellie’s protector, Joel (portrayed by the ever-charming Pedro Pascal), by their side.
And the chemistry between Dina and Ellie is about to heat up.

Filming has kicked off, and the excitement is through the roof! Merced shared with ET Online that she’s “beyond excited” about joining the adventure. After just one day on set, it’s clear that the chemistry between her and Ramsey is electric. It’s like they’ve been besties for years!
Not to mention, Merced’s got more up her sleeve, as she’s set to soar as Hawkgirl in the upcoming Superman: Legacy. Talk about a busy year!
