Although there are no plans for a Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead crossover, as confirmed by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson, fans are going wild over what appears to be Chandler Riggs’ Carl Grimes appearing in the most recent episode of Fear The Walking Dead.

About three minutes into the episode, a young boy who does have a striking resemblance to Riggs (at least when he’s off in the distance) sent Twitter into a frenzy, taking photos of their televisions and tagging Chandler Riggs in their tweets, wondering why he was on the episode.

ComicBook.com can confirm, however, this was not Chandler Riggs through our sources at AMC. It would’ve been a fun cameo but why would Carl be in Los Angeles? The kid has school! And his dad is in a coma! Congratulations to the extra on scoring so much attention, though.
The Walking Dead returns October 11 while Fear The Walking Dead has two new episodes remaining, airing Sundays at 9 PM EST on AMC.
