Fear the Walking Dead first premiered as a spinoff to AMC’s breakout hit The Walking Dead back in 2015. It followed the events that happened prior to Rick Grimes waking up from his coma, showing the early days and chaos of the apocalypse. Since then, there have been a couple of crossovers, including the move of Lennie James (Morgan) and Austin Amelio (Dwight) from TWD to Fear. The series has been well received by critics and audiences alike and a sixth season seems right on par with the story currently being told! Are you excited for Fear to return for season 6?

Fear the Walking Dead will air its mid-season finale this Sunday, July 21 and will return for 5B in August!
