Fear The Walking Dead

But more ‘Walking Dead’ spinoffs are coming.

The Walking Dead and its Fear-ful prequel remain about a decade and continent apart, but a link between the pair has finally been found. Months after reports of a crossover, The Walking Dead confirms Lennie James’ Morgan will rejoin the franchise in a crossover role on Season 4 of Fear The Walking Dead.

Something has been increasingly clear as I watch the third season of Fear The Walking Dead: it's better than it's predecessor.

Walking Dead companion series Fear The Walking Dead wrapped up its second season with a few hints of the world leaning farther into the zombie apocalypse, but fans will always wonder if the two series would ever cross over. Robert Kirkman even offered a tantalizing hint at New York Comic-Con, suggesting a Fear-ful origin for one of the comics’ current villains.

The Walking Dead fans are eagerly awaiting Season 7's full trailer, but lest we forget, the second half of Fear The Walking Dead Season 2 will arrive even earlier, on August 21. The companion series is starting too look a great deal like its companion, however, as Nick strikes out on his own, and the others take refuge in a spooky-looking hotel.

AMC companion series Fear The Walking Dead has struggled to turn the same heads as its mothership, even as Season 2 now unfurls with the same midseason cliffhanger that The Walking Dead has trafficked in for years. To wit, showrunner Dave Erickson acknowledges fan disappointment with the spinoff, as well where it stands with the main series’ significantly-advanced timeline.

‘Fear The Walking Dead’ takes to the sea for a “Monster” of a Season 2 premiere, but are walkers even a danger on the water? Is Season 2 a refreshing change from the main series’ frustrating finale? Find out in our full review of tonight’s premiere Season 2 hour!

The appeal of Fear The Walking Dead has seen a chance to explore different sides of the zombie apocalypse, whether in locale, or variety. Season 2 will take to the high seas, but may hint at a cause for the zombie plague in a new trailer, amid all the pirates and familiar Walking Dead tricks.

As The Walking Dead gears up for the back half of its sixth season and some major comic milestones, with years of issues untapped for source material, there isn’t much consideration of an end in sight. That said, AMC’s longest series only lasted seven seasons, so how long do network bosses really see it going? Might Fear, or another spinoff ever take the reigns?
