Morgan’s Story In Fear The Walking Dead Season 8 Explained

Morgan and Madison in Fear the Walking Dead

Morgan’s choice to lead Madison and Mo back to PADRE originates from a scenario within the seven-year time dive in between Fear the Walking Dead seasons 7 and 8. While it’s uncertain what made Morgan choose to sign up with PADRE and have them raise Mo, it appears even Madison was shocked by his turn. Fear the Walking Dead signaling Morgan’s huge modification pertains to graffiti composed on the wall of a home in the overload, showing something bad took place that made Morgan momentarily snap.

Promotional product for Fear the Walking Dead season 8 suggests significant characters like June, Dwight, and Daniel will resist versus PADRE later on in the season. While Morgan has actually aligned himself with PADRE in the meantime, it’s possible he will alter his tune as soon as he sees his pals rebelling versus them. Since PADRE is being established as Fear the Walking Dead‘s villain for the last season, it makes good sense for Morgan to ultimately turn versus them.

James formerly teased that Fear the Walking Dead will end Morgan’s story in The Walking Dead universe, implying he will likely do something significant to assist beat PADRE in season 8. However, with The Walking Dead universe broadening, there’s constantly an opportunity Morgan will return in among the lots of spinoffs coming quickly. For now, however, it appears Morgan’s fate in Fear the Walking Dead is connected to his positioning with PADRE.
