Everybody’s talking about… The Walking Dead
Creator of The Walking Dead comic, Rob Kirkman, has revealed that the show will crossover with its spinoff, Fear The Walking Dead.
Both shows exist in the same universe, but none of the characters have crossed paths – yet. The eighth season of TVD is set to begin later this month, and Kirkman said:
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. This is a huge event in the world of The Walking Dead.
