It has long been rumored that AMC's THE WALKING DEAD and its spin-off series FEAR THE WALKING DEAD were destined to one-day cross paths. Well, that day may be upon us very soon.

Robert Kirkman on TWD & FTWD crossover:

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.

He then adds:

This is a huge event in the world of The Walking Dead.

The synopsis for season 8:

Last season, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be.

Feeling powerless under Negan’s rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn’t be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough firepower to contest the Saviors.

This season, Rick brings “All Out War” to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors’ grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.

THE WALKING DEAD Season 8 debuts October 22. While FEAR THE WALKING DEAD wraps up its third season October 15.
