It's uncertain what James' fate will be. Though no announcements have been made that the actor is leaving the show, that doesn't mean much when it comes to the way people get killed off on "The Walking Dead" shows all the time. "The way the guys are telling the story through this season, and right all the way to the end of it, actually, is a bit like the audience and a bit like you: I've never felt my position being more precarious," the actor told Decider.
James is the only actor currently on the series who was there at the beginning — his character appeared in the pilot episode of "The Walking Dead" before he crossed over into the long-running spinoff series. In fact, there's some speculation that Morgan can't die — as in, that it may be a plot element. This concept all comes down to his character saying, in an eighth season episode of "The Walking Dead" called "The Damned" back in 2017, "I don't die."
What does that mean, exactly, though?
