That’s very astute, and something we spoke at length about. There are a few surviving personalities still in the universe, and it would be extraordinary to have them all breathe the same air at some point. It could be an absolutely tremendous, traumatic reunion of sorts.

Will The Walking Dead Have A Massive Crossover Event?Custom Image by Nick Bythrow

Lincoln isn’t the only person behind The Walking Dead to express interest in a crossover between the universe’s ongoing spinoffs. The franchise’s Chief Content Officer and The Ones Who Live showrunner Scott Gimple has also expressed interest in bringing the show’s familiar characters back together again in the future. This includes laying the foundations for a crossover event in the spinoffs, possibly having everyone reunite in a new series later down the road.

Since all the franchise’s spinoffs take place in the same universe, it opens the door for everyone to come back together, possibly to face a new threat to the Virginia communities. This could be done thanks to The Ones Who Live revealing the CRM’s global connections, Major General Beale telling Rick they have spies in communities all around the world. If some of those spies are situated in New York City or France, then the threat of the militarized group may not be over.

Beyond a larger crossover, it’s also possible the ongoing spinoffs will feature returning characters showing up in different parts of the story. This may include Rick and Michonne appearing in Daryl Dixon, especially now that they’ve safely returned to the Virginia communities. They could also learn about Maggie’s plight up north, deciding to go there with other familiar faces in order to help her. With plenty of possibilities for The Walking Dead‘s future, a major crossover event is very possible and has plenty of potential.
