We've known since New York Comic Con that a character from
The Walking Dead would crossover with its spin-off
Fear the Walking Dead, and thanks to last night's episode of "
Talking Dead" we now know that character is Morgan Jones, played by Lennie James.
James is set to become a series regular on
Fear the Walking Dead, and today AMC released the first photos of Lennie James on the set of the show which is currently shootings its fourth season in Austin, Texas.
The photos show James at a table read alongside
Fear the Walking Dead co-stars Colman Domingo, Frank Dillane, and Alycia Debnam-Carey, as well as the actor with showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Golberg. Additionally, AMC has also released a video with James - his first day on the set of
Fear the Walking Dead - addressing the big move.
“To take Morgan into this new realm and landscape, to see who he could now be, to see where his story could go in the world of ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ is wonderfully exciting and I am really looking forward to the challenge,” James said of the move. “My time on ‘The Walking Dead’ has been a blessing and one of the top working and personal experiences of my life. That cast and crew will have my love, my respect and my deep gratitude until the end of my days.”
