Season one left off with Madison (Kim Dickens), Travis (Cliff Curtis) and their extended family taking temporary shelter in Strand’s (Colman Domingo) gated estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. As civil unrest continues to grow and the dead take over Los Angeles, Strand prepares to escape to “Abigail,” his large yacht moored offshore.
“Fear the Walking Dead” takes us back to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse – a time when the world was changing rapidly for reasons unknown, before anyone understood exactly what was happening, when life as everyone knew it was upended and altered in ways no one could have ever imagined. “Fear the Walking Dead” stars Kim Dickens as Madison, Cliff Curtis as Travis, Frank Dillane as Nick, Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia, Ruben Blades as Daniel,Mercedes Mason as Ofelia, Lorenzo James Henrie as Chris and Colman Domingo as Strand.
Fear the Walking Dead season 2 is set to premiere on April 10th.

Surely Zovatto is playing Frank Dillane’s long-lost twin brother. They look exactly the same.

They so do…I had such a hot crush on him on his brief stint in Revenge so I was delighted to see him cast in FTWD. Granted I’m old enough to be his mother but still, boy’s got it goin’ on! I was losing interest in that spin off. I love Frankie Dillane’s character and was curious how they’ll work the boat in but wasn’t worried if I missed it for awhile. Not anymore. I’ll be there with bells on! Can’t wait!
Oliver Davis says
I’m hoping it’s an opposite Walking Dead – bad season 1, but great afterwards (I really, really, really didn’t enjoy season 1).
Luke Owen says
Super nice guy and a great talent. Heard the show was no good, but glad to see him get a high-profile role.
Molly Castillo says
I know a lot of people think FTWD is ” slow “, and yes it is, but you folks have to realize that up to a certain point a pandemic is what this apocalypse started as. After a certain point things will start to “explode”, ( IRL ), but this is television, entertainment. I’ve enjoyed watching this sister show and hope it makes it at least another 4-5 seasons at the least……
MikeDK says
A little worried that the show will be focusing too much on teens…
I know the leads include Dickens at 50 and Ruben Blades, but everytime the story involves their kids it turns into a melodrama.
The Walking Dead had that too at the start, but then they killed off the cause of it (Shane), and it was a better show for it.
