Will Morgan and Rick Reunite in Jaw-Dropping Walking Dead Spinoff? FTWD Star's Surprising Response

Fear the Walking Dead star Lennie James has hinted at the possibility of a reunion between Morgan Jones and Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead universe. At the end of Fear the Walking Dead season 8, episode 6, Morgan and his daughter Mo embarked on a quest to find Rick in Alexandria. However, with Rick being captured by the CRM in The Walking Dead season 9, Morgan's journey may take him further north in his search for his old friend.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, James acknowledged the potential for Morgan and Rick to reunite after Morgan's departure from Fear the Walking Dead season 8. He also expressed his interest in seeing Morgan cross paths with other important characters in The Walking Dead universe.

Morgan's journey has been unpredictable, often leading him in unexpected directions. Despite leaving a message for Rick, he could potentially cross paths with Daryl, Maggie, Negan, or even wander the apocalypse with his child. Regardless, this chapter of Morgan's story has come to an end. It has been a privilege and an honor to be part of the incredible cast, crew, and storytellers who bring FTWD to life.

What's Next For Morgan In The Walking Dead Universe?

After Morgan's departure from Fear the Walking Dead, there remains uncertainty regarding his potential return in the future. Although James initially stated that season 8 concludes Morgan's storyline in Fear the Walking Dead, his final appearance implies the possibility of his comeback. As Morgan's presence in The Walking Dead universe seems to persist, it is conceivable that he may venture into one of the spinoffs featuring original characters from the main series.

Morgan's potential return to The Walking Dead may involve joining the Rick and Michonne spinoff, as he expressed his determination to continue searching for Rick even if he wasn't in Alexandria. This could lead to a conflict with the CRM, an organization he has already encountered in past seasons of Fear the Walking Dead. Moreover, it presents an opportunity for Morgan and Rick to reunite after enduring separate journeys. Additionally, if Morgan goes to Alexandria, he could potentially collaborate with other familiar survivors such as Carol. Scott Gimple, the Chief Content Officer, has hinted at more spinoffs featuring original characters from The Walking Dead, opening up the possibility of a partnership between Morgan and Carol in their quest to locate Rick and possibly Daryl as well. Considering the numerous possibilities for Morgan's future, it is likely that Fear the Walking Dead will not be the last time we see him and Mo.
