Fear The Walking Dead: Everything We Know So Far

Lots of zombies, probably.

The Walking Dead has already established itself as one of the most-watched shows on TV, with audience figures in the United States alone regularly topping 15 million. Following Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) et al in the wake of a zombie apocalypse, and based on the graphic novels of the same name, the show started with a six episode run back in 2010, with 5.35m people watching the S1 premiere. Fast forward to 2014, and the first episode of season 5 was watched by over 17m. Not content with having such a large share of viewers between October and March, as well as the graphic novels and video games, AMC now want zombies to take over your living room all year round with the spin-off series Fear The Walking Dead. This was confirmed back in March, around the time season 5 was coming to a close, and is set to air this summer to keep fans occupied - and attract some new ones - before its big brother returns with its sixth season in October. With production now fully underway, and just a couple of months until it hits our screens (€˜late summer€™ is the closest we have to a date at the moment), here€™s a look at everything we know about Fear The Walking Dead.
