In a recent interview with SFX Magazine (via CBR), showrunner Andrew Chambliss hyped up fans of the “Walking Dead” franchise by promising that the soon-to-be-released Season 8 of “Fear The Walking Dead” will see many of the scattered characters brought back together. Chambliss teased, “And maybe even a few other familiar faces [will show up]. We wanted to, as best we could with the real estate we have, try to give everyone a really satisfying conclusion. We wanted to try to make it feel like we weren’t leaving anyone out in the cold.”
Though “Fear the Walking Dead” has featured plenty of characters from “The Walking Dead,” like Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Maggie, Dwight, Sherry, Morgan (Lennie James), Jesus (Thomas Payne), and Carol (Melissa McBride), the showrunner’s tease here promises resolution. However, a superficial appearance from one of these characters in Season 8 of “Fear The Walking Dead” wouldn’t be plot-worthy. It would likely amount to needless fan service unless they were somehow shoe-horned in with a surprise plot twist.
