Will Abraham Be AMC's Walking Dead Crossover Character?

A tweet from Michael Cudlitz teases that Abraham might be the character crossing over to the zombie drama's spin-off series.

Although AMC remained steadfast for years thatÂ The Walking Dead and its spin-off,Â Fear the Walking Dead, would never feature crossover stories, that all changed when executive producerÂ Robert Kirkman revealed at last week's New York Comic Con that one such event was indeed in the works.The writer announced that one character from one of the series would appear in the other, but was naturally coy about the who, when and where. Thanks to a tweet fromÂ The Walking Dead alum Michael Cudlitz, however, we now might have an inkling about who the character in question might be: Cudlitz's (now deceased) character Abraham.RELATED:Â EXCLUSIVE: Fear the Walking Deadâ€™s Alicia & Nick Debate Value of Survival

Abraham met his demise in the show's Season 7 premiere at the hands of the eccentric Negan -- along with Steven Yeun's Glenn -- and remains dead in the current continuity of the network's primary zombie drama, butÂ Fear the Walking Dead doesn't run concurrently with its sister series. Even at a little over three seasons in, the spin-off's stories run closer to the outbreak thanÂ The Walking Dead, meaning a crossover featuring Abraham could act as a prologue of sorts, especially considering his briefly-mentioned backstory.

Shortly after AbrahamÂ was first introduced, he revealed that he was living with his family in Texas around the time of the outbreak, making him potentially very close in proximity to the leads ofÂ Fear the Walking Dead, who will soon be departing the country of Mexico and heading north.

Returning for its eighth season to AMC on Oct. 22, The Walking Dead is a production of Skybound Entertainment starring Andrew Lincoln, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Lennie James and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Fear the Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT and stars Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Mercedes Mason, Lorenzo James Henrie, RubÃ©n Blades, Colman Domingo, Michelle Ang, Danay Garcia, Daniel Sharman, Sam Underwood, Dayton Callie and Lisandra Tena.
