The cross over for “The Walking Dead” was announced this past sunday and it caught a lot of fans off guard. Fans were expecting a character such as Abraham from “The Walking Dead” or Nick from “Fear The Walking Dead” to be the character that is a part of the crossover, but they were all wrong.

The crossover character is in fact Morgan Jones, an original character that dates all the way back to season 1, episode 1 of the series. This is an interesting choice for a crossover, since Morgan is believed to have stayed in King County, Georgia until he went on the trek to Virginia.

My question is, how did he get to Texas? Is this crossover meant to take place between Season 1 and Season 3 of “The Walking Dead?" Is this taking place post season 8? All of this is unknown as of now. Scott Gimple, the Executive Producer of both shows, has said that Season 8 of “TWD” will set up Morgan for a crossover in Season 4 of “FTWD." Personally, I am hoping that it is a post Season 8 crossover since that is something that would logically make the most sense.

Regardless of what happens, I am very excited for this crossover. I feel it will set things up for “The Whisperers” which are nomads that cover themselves with Walker Skin, or they could be another group all together that encounters Rick's crew. Regardless, I think Morgan is the key to all of this since if it does take place post season 8, then that will give the "FTWD" crew a reason to come to Virginia. Since Morgan will most likely speak about how he is from Alexandria, Virginia, and how it is safe there. The crossover is scheduled for Season 4 of "Fear The Walking Dead" which is currently in production in Austin, Texas.
