The Walking Dead is officially crossing paths with its spinoff series, Fear the Walking Dead, and AMC announced which character would be changing shows heading into next season.

On Talking Dead, Chris Hardwick revealed that Morgan Jones, played by Lennie James, is going to be on the upcoming fourth season of Fear the Walking Dead. Of course, this came with the news that Morgan would no longer be on the main Walking Dead series after the current season.
While this was certainly a surprise, a lot of fans were actually pretty pissed.
Whether they thought it was a cash grab to try and get fans to tune in to Fear, or just a ploy to keep Morgan around longer, viewers took to Twitter to voice their displeasure.
Here’s what they had to say:
WHY?!
So yall just gon throw Morgan to Fear the Walking dead that shit kinda got me dissapointed..dropped the ball on this.. Lennie looked pissed..#TheWalkingDead#TalkingDead

Is this a cash grab?
I figured it would be Morgan transferring to #FearTheWalkingDead. These shows need to end. What an awful way to end a story arc on #TheWalkingDead No one is excited. Not even Lennie James. You can tell.
