Here’s an exclusive behind the scenes look at ‘Fear the Walking Dead’
“‘Fear the Walking Dead’ takes us back to the earlier, more dangerous, more terrifying days of ‘The Walking Dead,’” said Kirkman. “A time when danger was lurking around every corner and the thing mostly likely to get you killed was your own ignorance of the rapidly changing world around you. The stakes are going to be higher and the ride more intense. We’re going to show people all the insanity of civilization crumbling that Rick Grimes slept through. Buckle up.”
“I could not be more thrilled to be continuing on this apocalyptic journey, dramatizing the horrific disintegration of society through the lens of a dysfunctional family. We’ve assembled a stellar cast and crew to tell our story — it’s going to be a great ride,” said Erickson.
‘Fear The Walking Dead’ is set in Los Angeles and focuses on new characters and storylines. ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ features Kim Dickens (Gone Girl), Cliff Curtis (Missing), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 3) and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Into the Storm). Also joining the cast as series regulars are Elizabeth Rodriguez (Orange is the New Black)and Mercedes Mason (Quarantine 2: Terminal).
