Last week, Robert Kirkman finally confirmed that the Walking Dead companion series was officially titled Fear The Walking Dead thus bringing an end to weeks of speculation. Well, tonight during the season 5 finale edition of The Talking Dead we finally got our first promo, and I must admit I’m pretty excited. Check it out folks.
We all know from the original what happened after the walker illness hit epidemic levels but virtually nothing is known about how it all started. It appears that this new series attempts to fill in those gaps.
Cliff Curtis, Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey will star in the new series, which is exec produced by Kirkman and his “Walking Dead” team, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert. Dave Erickson will exec produce and serve as showrunner. Erickson and Kirkman co-created and co-wrote the pilot.
Fear The Walking Dead was handed a straight-to-series 2-season order. Season 1 is set to premiere this summer with six episodes, while season 2 is slated for 2016.
