Co-showrunner of Fear the Walking Dead, Ian Goldberg, says that some new characters will bring a “lot of comedy” to the show.
Fear the Walking Dead and its parent show, The Walking Dead, aren’t known for their comedic prowess, which is hardly surprising considering the miserable subject matter that a zombie apocalypse provides.
This is about to change for FTWD, however, as new characters are set to arrive that will add some lighter vibes to proceedings. Speaking to EW, co-showrunner Ian Goldberg said:
“We’re going to meet some new faces next week who are going to lend a very different flavor to the show. There’s going to be a lot of comedy.
“Episode 410 was a very dark episode and with the episode 411, it’s going to be much lighter in tone and a lot of that will come from some new cast additions that we’re excited for people to check out.”

“The first half of season four began with one figure huddled around a campfire, and ended with nine. Characters who started their journeys in isolation collided with each other in unexpected ways and found themselves in one of the last places they ever expected to be…together. In the back half of the season they will explore who they are now – as individuals and as part of the greater group – and how they will forge ahead. They will find themselves pitted against new adversaries – human, walker, and even nature itself. Theirs will be a journey wrought with danger, love, heartbreak, loss, and ultimately, hope.”
Fear the Walking Dead season 4 airs on Sunday nights in the U.S. and Monday nights in the U.K.
