The Characters of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD Featurette and More Videos The beginning of the end of our future begins now. The new series FEAR THE WALKING DEAD is set in the same world of the zombie mega hit THE WALKING DEAD, but it features a different location and group of characters. The show stars Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam Carey, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Lorenzo James Henri, Mercedes Mason, Ruben Blades, and more. Watch below the latest promotional featurettes, clips and more! FEAR THE WALKING DEAD premieres on Sunday Aug. 23, 8/9pm Central on AMC. Living in the same universe as The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead is a gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counselor Madison Clark and English teacher Travis Manawa have managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families while dealing with resentful, escapist, and strung out children takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution, a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, and our dysfunctional family must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.
