Fear the Walking Dead, the first spinoff series in the Walking Dead Universe, rewound the clock to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse in Los Angeles. A time jump between FTWD Season 3 and Season 4 shortened the gap between that show and The Walking Dead, but the Walking Dead Universe chief content officer Scott Gimple said at San Diego Comic-Con@Home last year that the two shows are not yet synchronized.
“They’re pretty far away from each other right now,” Gimple said at the time, per ComicBook. “We’ve talked about things on this show, and we’ve talked about things on other shows. I’ll give you one of those standard [answers]: it’s possible.”
