Morgan and Rick have been reunited in a stunning new piece of fan art for The Walking Dead. Lennie James' character, Morgan Jones, has become a crucial figure in the show, standing shoulder to shoulder with the original standout character, Rick Grimes, portrayed by Andrew Lincoln. As a leading star in Fear the Walking Dead, Morgan has drawn inspiration from Rick's experience to navigate the challenges posed by both humans and walkers.
Although Morgan has officially bid farewell to the crew in Fear the Walking Dead, he is now headed towards a long-awaited reunion with Rick in Alexandria. This highly anticipated meeting could happen sooner rather than later, especially with the approaching spin-offs of the franchise. The Walking Dead community has already expressed great enthusiasm for this union. In fact, fan artist akithefull recently shared a stunning artwork depicting Morgan on a mission to find his old friend, accompanied by Mo (Zoey Merchant).

Will Morgan And Rick Reunite?
Morgan's final episode of Fear the Walking Dead ends with him embarking on a journey to reunite with Rick. However, this reunion is not as simple as it sounds. Rick is no longer in Alexandria and is not in a position to easily reconnect with old friends. Moreover, Rick and Michonne are set to star in their own spinoff where they will explore and navigate their relationship.
Considering these circumstances, it seems unlikely that Morgan and Rick will have a chance to reunite. While Morgan has found Rick in the past, it appears that Rick will not have many opportunities for a prolonged reconnection. This is especially challenging because the upcoming six-episode spinoff will primarily focus on the relationship between Rick and Michonne, rather than Rick and his friends. As a result, there may not be enough room for Morgan to make an appearance, given the show's central focus.
Morgan's departure from Fear the Walking Dead involved an impactful gesture - a radio transmission in search of Rick. This clever act could potentially serve as a powerful means of reuniting the two characters in the future. Should Rick require support in his upcoming series, he could simply connect with a friend via the radio. Perhaps a heartfelt embrace and a united stance against approaching walkers would be all it takes for them to resume their close bond. Undoubtedly, the friendship between Rick and Morgan has consistently stood out throughout The Walking Dead, making it wholly deserving of another opportunity to flourish, considering the multitude of experiences they have endured together.
