The Walking Dead to officially crossover with spinoff Fear the Walking Dead

One character will appear in both shows next year

The Walking Dead and its spinoff Fear the Walking Dead are officially going to crossover, it's been revealed.

Robert Kirkman, creator of TWD comic book series, confirmed the news at New York Comic-Con yesterday (7 October).

Fans have wondered if the two would ever crossover since the spinoff began in 2015, however, the fact it's set in Mexico compared to Atlanta - which is where The Walking Dead takes place - has made the logistics of such an occurrence rather tough.

Kirkman revealed that the crossover will take place next year via one character who is set to appear in both shows.

“There is one character that is going to go from one show, that I will not name, to another show, that I will not name,” he said. “This is a huge event in the world of The Walking Dead.”

He did not reveal which show the character will appear in first.

The Walking Dead season eight begins on 22 October while Fear The Walking Dead will ends its third season on 15 October.
