If you’re one of the almost 16 million people who tuned into the season 5 finale of “The Walking Dead” back in March, you’re probably itching for a new episode of the wildly successful horror drama (I know I am). While we’re still a couple months out from the premiere of season 6 — Oct. 11, for those keeping track! — fans of the AMC thriller are in for a treat.
“Fear the Walking Dead,” the muchanticipated companion series to “The Walking Dead,” premieres on Sunday, Aug. 23, on AMC.
It’s difficult not to be excited when talking about this companion series, as it hails from many of the same minds behind the original TV series.
“The Walking Dead” franchise creator Robert Kirkman is also helming this version, which starts off as a prequel, along with executive producers Greg Nicotero, David Alpert, Gale Anne Hurd — who all have worked on “The Walking Dead” — and newcomer to the franchise Dave Erickson, who serves as showrunner.
It’s important to note that while “Fear the Walking Dead” takes place in the same universe as its counterpart, the two shows will be vastly different. Where “The Walking Dead” sees main character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln, “Love Actually,” 2003) awaken from a coma long after the zombie apocalypse has begun, this series showcases the very beginnings of the worldwide catastrophe.
“I think more than anything else, ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ will get to show people coming to grips with society crumbling around them in a way we mostly skipped over on ‘The Walking Dead,’” Kirkman said in an interview with the “New York Times.”
One thing that was skipped over in the original series that Erickson calls “jarring” is just how little the zombies look like the classic, half-decayed monstrosities they later become, and it’s something that will play into the early parts of the season.
“Your first impulse is to help them, and then short of that, to run,” he said in the “NYT” piece. “It isn’t to pick up a handy weapon and bludgeon them to death and crush their skull.”
Another key difference between both series is where, specifically, they

Not only will good storytelling be key to making “Fear the Walking Dead” live up to its predecessor, the acting will also have to be top notch, and the cast for the companion series boasts some strong talent.
New Zealand actor Cliff Curtis (“Live Free or Die Hard,” 2007) stars as Travis Manawa, a high school English teacher whose son, Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie, “Almost Kings,” 2010), resents him for divorcing his mother, Liza (Elizabeth Rodriguez, “Miami Vice,” 2006). Curtis has won quite a few awards in his native country, including four New Zealand Film and TV Awards.
Much-anticipated ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ kicks off on AMC FOUR WHEELED WALKER Seat and Braking System, variety of styles, sizes, colors available. Totally Adjustable Ergonomically Designed Ultra Compact
Two-time Emmy-nominated actor Rubén Blades (“Crazy from the Heart,” 1991, “Safe House,” 2012) and Swedish-American actress Mercedes Mason (“666 Park Avenue”) round out the cast as father-daughter duo Daniel and Ofelia Salazar. Ofelia is protective of her immigrant parents, and Daniel mostly keeps to himself. With the apocalypse looming, however, they start to undergo identity shifts.
Kim Dickens of “Sons of Anarchy,” “House of Cards” and “Treme” fame stars as Madison Clark, Travis’s fiancée and single mom to Nick (Frank Dillane, “Sense8”) and Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey, “The 100”). Madison is the guidance counselor at the same school where Travis teaches, and she struggles to connect with her children. Dickens has received accolades for her roles in the TV series “Deadwood” as well as the 2014 psychological thriller “Gone Girl.”

On top of all of the excitement of this new series premiering is the fact that AMC has already shown Kirkman, Erickson and the rest of the “Fear” crew that they’re all in for this spinoff. Back in March AMC announced it had picked up “Fear” for two seasons, and last month, it added to the hype by announcing that season 2 will consist of 15 episodes and will air next year.
