The Walking Dead to Crossover with Fear The Walking Dead

It's happening!

By Alex Osborn

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has confirmed AMC's hit zombie series will crossover with the network's prequel series Fear the Walking Dead.

During today's The Walking Dead panel at New York Comic Con, Kirkman said the two The Walking Dead shows will crossover when a character—whose identity he didn't specify—from one show makes an appearance in the other.‬

In favor of keeping things a mystery, he said coyly that it's possible we could see the backstory of a character from The Walking Dead featured in Fear the Walking Dead, a future version of a character from Fear the Walking Dead in The Walking Dead, or perhaps something else entirely.

This isn't the first time Kirkman has spoken about a crossover between the two shows, as he teased the possibly just a few months ago at San Diego Comic Con.

The Walking Dead returns for its eighth season on October 22. For a look at what's ahead in Season 8, including a few interesting details about its action-packed premiere, check out IGN's interview with Jesus actor Tom Payne.
