How Fans are Reacting to Dwight Crossing Over to ‘Fear The Walking Dead’
Fans are reacting to the news of The Walking Dead character Dwight moving over to sister show Fear The Walking Dead. It was announced Thursday that Dwight, played by Austin Amelio, will appear on the series as his character who follows in Morgan’s footsteps, and crosses over.
Morgan is already with the Fear crew, as Lennie James made the move over to the sister show in the beginning of its 4th season.
Last we saw of Dwight on The Walking Dead, Daryl was kicking him out and telling him to never come back, or else. Amelio appeared at Walker Stalker New Jersey in 2018, where he teased fans,

Some wondered why it was announced before we found out about it, or weren’t so pleased,
It will be cool to see Dwight in #FearTWD but why do they have to announce it? Can they stop announcing everything, I want to be surprise. I love both shows so I want to be surprise when I watch them. #TheWalkingDead
