If you guessed Dwight, you were right.
The nemesis of Daryl and ex-Savior who left the main series after the "All Out War" storyline is set to make another appearance in the
Walking Dead universe, but this time he'll be joining Morgan on the
Fear the Walking Dead.
It seems that Morgan actor Lennie James, who has commited to another season, will be joined by his old cast-mate in the series as they look to make the world habitable again.
Below, Showrunner Ian Goldberg comments on the decision to fold Dwight into the
Fear the Walking Dead universe.
As it was with Morgan, we will never do [crossovers] indiscriminately. It's all true to the story and what the greater narrative we're trying to tell is. Last season going into this one is a lot about redemption. One thing we saw Dwight do a lot of on The Walking Dead, was he did a lot of bad things in his time. He was a bad dude for quite a while. But, he was someone who had lost a great deal and was motivated by his love for [his wife] Sherry so we're going to see him wrestling with that this season on the show. We don't want to say too much about the story, but his arc very much lines up with the things that some of our other characters are struggling with. It's exciting to play on this shared history between Dwight and Morgan, as both have been in The Walking Dead, but also just to see how fans are going to react. People seem very excited by the fact that he and Morgan are going to be reunited.
What do you think of this development, and what do you hope to see in season 5? Let us know below!
