Is Morgan Coming Back to The Walking Dead Season 11? The Answer May Surprise You
Who is Morgan Jones?
Morgan Jones (played by Lennie James) is one of the original characters of The Walking Dead, a post-apocalyptic horror drama series based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. He first appeared in the pilot episode as a survivor who rescues Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) from a horde of zombies. He later reunites with Rick and joins his group of survivors, but struggles with his mental health and morality in the face of the zombie apocalypse.
Morgan is also the main protagonist of Fear the Walking Dead, a spin-off series that explores the origins of the zombie outbreak and follows different groups of survivors across different locations and time periods. Morgan crossed over to Fear the Walking Dead in its fourth season, after leaving The Walking Dead at the end of its eighth season.
What happened to Morgan in The Walking Dead?
Morgan’s last appearance in The Walking Dead was in the season 8 finale, titled “Wrath”. In this episode, he decides to leave Rick’s group after the war with the Saviors, a brutal faction led by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), is over. He feels guilty for killing innocent people and losing his friends, and believes that he does not belong with the others. He tells Rick that he is going to find his own way, and sets off on a journey across the country.
Morgan’s journey leads him to encounter new characters and challenges, as well as old friends and enemies, in Fear the Walking Dead. He becomes the leader of a group of survivors who try to help others in need, while facing threats from various antagonists, such as the Vultures, the Filthy Woman, Virginia, and the Pioneers. He also develops a romantic relationship with Grace (Karen David), a former nuclear power plant worker who is pregnant with his child.
Will Morgan return to The Walking Dead in season 11?
The Walking Dead season 11 is the final season of the series, and it will consist of 24 episodes that will air in three parts from 2021 to 2022. The first part of the season premiered on August 22, 2021, and the second part will premiere on February 20, 2022. The third and final part will air in late 2022, and it will conclude the story of Rick’s group and the other survivors in the zombie apocalypse.
The Walking Dead season 11 will also feature the return of some fan-favorite characters, such as Maggie (Lauren Cohan), who came back in the season 10 finale after leaving the show in season 9, and Rick, who left the show in season 9 and will appear in a spin-off movie trilogy. However, the question that many fans are wondering is: will Morgan also return to The Walking Dead in season 11?
The answer is: maybe. There is no official confirmation or denial from the showrunners or the actors about Morgan’s possible comeback, but there are some hints and clues that suggest that it could happen. Here are some of them:
- According to Parade, the third part of The Walking Dead season 11 will premiere on October 2, 2022, which is the same date as the series finale of Fear the Walking Dead season 8. This could mean that the two shows will have a crossover event or a connection in their final episodes, and that Morgan could be involved in it.
- According to Entertainment Weekly, the series finale of The Walking Dead will feature the return of Rick and Michonne (Danai Gurira), who will also star in a spin-off miniseries together. The finale will also show Rick’s journal, which contains his letters to his children and his thoughts about the dead and the living. The journal will be found by Michonne, who is on a quest to find Rick after discovering clues that he is still alive. The journal will also have references to Morgan, who was Rick’s first friend in the zombie apocalypse and who helped him find his family.
- According to Collider, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan, revealed that The Walking Dead season 11 filming will take up an entire calendar year, and that they are only on episode 3 after two months of production. He also said that the season will have “a lot of surprises” and that “there’s a lot of people coming back”. This could imply that Morgan is one of the surprise returns that the fans can expect to see in the final season.
- According to Screen Rant, The Walking Dead has provided a clue as to how Negan will re-enter the picture in season 11. In the season 11 part 2 premiere, Negan leaves Maggie’s group after she threatens to kill him, and he goes off on his own. He then encounters a new group of survivors, who are wearing masks and carrying weapons. The group is led by a woman named Leah (Lynn Collins), who is revealed to be Negan’s long-lost wife, who he thought had died before the zombie apocalypse. Leah tells Negan that her group is part of a larger community called the Commonwealth, which is also where Rick was taken by the CRM helicopter. She also tells Negan that she knows someone who can help him find Rick: Morgan.
These hints and clues are not conclusive, but they do indicate that Morgan has a chance of returning to The Walking Dead in season 11. Whether he will reunite with his old friends, or face new enemies, or join Rick and Michonne in their spin-off, remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: Morgan’s story is not over yet, and he still has a role to play in the TWD universe.
