Meanwhile, the latest episode of the "Talking Dead" after-show finally dropped the name of the character who will cross-over from "The Walking Dead" and "Fear the Walking Dead." After the airing of the episode titled "The King, the Widow, and Rick" in the parent series' season 8, it was revealed that Lennie James' Morgan will bridge the gap between both worlds.
"Talking Dead" host Chris Hardwick read a statement from series showrunner Scott Gimple to explain how Morgan will connect both shows. According to the statement, Morgan's story in "The Walking Dead" is not yet over.
"Even though Morgan is going to be featured on Fear, he has a lot of story left on The Walking Dead," Gimple said as read by Hardwick. "Morgan's arc on The Walking Dead Season 8 positioned him for the story on Fear. It was also important to see Fear's world and characters through new yet familiar eyes."
The fourth season of "Fear the Walking Dead" is expected to air on AMC in 2018, while season 8 of "The Walking Dead" continues to air in the network every Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT.
