Morgan's Walking Dead Future Gets Honest Response From Star 2 Years After Emotional Send-Off

Lennie James shares his insight about the future of his character, Morgan Jones, in The Walking Dead franchise. James portrayed the fan-favorite Morgan in The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. Morgan was killed off in The Walking Dead comic book series, but Jones is alive in AMC's Walking Dead TV universe, prompting speculation that his character may return in one of the spin-off shows to have aired since Fear the Walking Dead’s conclusion in 2023.

Speaking to ScreenRant's Grant Hermanns, Lennie James says that there isn’t any Morgan Jones storyline in the works for any of the ongoing or upcoming Walking Dead TV spinoffs. In the emotional ending of Fear the Walking Dead, Morgan is seen returning to Alexandria, Virginia, in an attempt to link up with Rick Grimes and other survivors he’s befriended through the years. Yet, despite Morgan still being alive, James has explained the situation as follows:

I haven't heard anything. That's the truth of the situation. But also, the truth of the situation is, if I had heard anything, I wouldn't tell you. But, in all honesty, I haven't heard anything. I do get asked that question on a regular basis, but as things stand, as of today, I've heard nothing.

 

What Lennie James’ Response Means For Morgan’s Walking Dead Future

He’s Unlikely To Appear In Ongoing Spinoff Shows

Lennie James admitting that he hasn’t heard anything about another Walking Dead project involving his character likely means that Morgan Jones won’t be appearing in the franchise’s two ongoing TV spinoffs, Dead City and Daryl Dixon, any time soon. James' response virtually rules him out of the next seasons of both shows.

On the other hand, earlier this year, The Walking Dead’s TV franchise head Scott M. Gimple hinted that Tales of the Walking Dead, a previous spinoff might be revived at a later date. If it is, then this show might provide an opportunity for James to return to the franchise as Morgan.

 

Our Take On Lennie James’ Comments About Morgan’s Future In The Walking Dead

Morgan Jones Is Still Alive In The TV Franchise For A Reason

Lennie James has been very open about the fact that no Walking Dead return for Morgan Jones appears to be in the pipeline. At the same time, just because franchise bosses haven’t informed James about their plans for Morgan as yet, that doesn’t mean these plans don’t exist. And, as James also indicated, if he is invited back to The Walking Dead franchise, he would keep his involvement a secret.

 
Morgan is one of the few major characters from the original The Walking Dead TV show not to have been killed off in any onscreen series. It’s only natural to assume that there's a reason Lennie remains alive, which may well be revealed in a later spinoff show. Morgan’s final scene in Fear of the Walking Dead, in which we see him sailing in the direction of his friend Rick, with his daughter by his side, would, in a sense, be the perfect ending for the character. But, as we all know, things don’t quite work that way in The Walking Dead universe.
