Dwight to Crossover to Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 - My Thoughts!

via IFTTT Dwight to Crossover to Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 - My Thoughts! http://bit.ly/2LR30Mx The Walking Dead star Austin Amelio is headed to Fear the Walking Dead to serve as the next crossover character between the two AMC shows. Having been entirely absent from The Walking Dead's ninth season, Amelio will reprise his role as Dwight on Fear the Walking Dead, ComicBook.com has learned from multiple sources involved with the series. The move follows the crossover lead previously carried out by Morgan Jones actor Lennie James. James joined Fear the Walking Dead in its fourth season and has since become the show's lead actor. With Amelio, James, Jenna Elfman, Garret Dillahunt, and Maggie Grace all having joined Fear the Walking Dead within the past two years, the show continues to transition away from its original cast and into something new. Original cast members Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, and Danay Garcia remain on Fear the Walking Dead to begin Season Five. Dwight was last seen on The Walking Dead in its Season Eight finale when Daryl Dixon exiled him from Alexandria and told him never to return. It appears Dwight is doing just that, allowing Amelio to head to his home state of Texas for production on the sibling series which is set years prior to The Walking Dead's current Whisperer story in Season Nine. Speaking to members of the press at San Diego Comic-Con in 2018, the Dead universe's chief content officer Scott Gimple was quick to not rule out any possible crossovers in the future despite The Walking Dead seeing a massive time jump. “It does not [rule out more crossovers],” Gimple said. “That’s about all I got to say. It does not but I wouldn’t expect it all the time. Things could happen. You never know who might pop up on Fear the Walking Dead. That includes The Walking Dead and potentially people in the past from Fear the Walking Dead.” At the time, the plan to have Amelio and his Dwight character join Fear the Walking Dead in its fifth season was already in motion. The Walking Dead returns for the back half of its ninth season on February 10, 2019 at 9 pm ET. 'The Walking Dead' Creator Comments On Current Timeline In issue #187 of The Walking Dead comic's back pages, Kirkman was asked by a reader how much time has passed in the apocalypse. As is standard for the zombie drama's writer, Kirkman steered clear of pinning down a definitive answer, but gave a bit of info for readers to chew on. "The comic is more than four years since #1, though closer to Year Five," The Walking Dead editor Sean Mackiewicz said. "If we're not there already. A lot of time's passed recently with every trip to the Commonwealth." FTWD is a mess, now. All these new characters would still have made great additions to the show, if they had stuck to the original storyline. John, June, and Althea could have met up with Madison after the dam explosion, and assisted her, in her search for her family. By episode five, everyone is reunited. - Boyd Crowder I’m glad they’re bringing Troy back, he was the most interesting character in the show for a while and I was genuinely peeved when they killed him off so unceremoniously - Justin Walsh TrevsChan2 Patreon ► http://bit.ly/1a27yf9 Grab a Trevschan2 TeeShirt ► http://bit.ly/2CsT491 As always, thanks for watching everyone! - Trev #fearthewalkingdead #fearwalkingdeadseason5 #dwightcrossover #austinamelio #fear Trevschan2
