| ShortSummary = Nick wakes up in a heroin den in an abandoned church and finds his friend Gloria eating someone. While fleeing, he is hit by a car and hospitalized. Nick's doctor tells his mother Madison and her boyfriend Travis that Nick's claims about the incident are drug-induced hallucinations. With his ex-wife Liza's aid, Travis tries to mend things with his rebellious son Chris, and believes Nick after visiting the church. Alicia, Madison's daughter, becomes worried about Nick's chemical dependency. At the high school, Madison confiscates Tobias' knife. He warns her about rumors of a mysterious illness spreading in several states, but she brushes him off. That night, Travis and Madison are caught in a traffic jam where gun shots are heard. The next day, the school closes early when a video surfaces of a man being unaffected by police bullets at the traffic jam from the night before. Nick escapes from the hospital and meets with Calvin, his dealer, hoping to learn if the drugs he took caused hallucinations in the church. Calvin drives Nick to the riverfront, where Calvin plans to kill him in order to prevent Nick from exposing him as a drug dealer. In the ensuing struggle, Calvin is mortally shot. As Madison and Travis arrive, the three are attacked by a zombified Calvin, whom Nick runs over repeatedly with Travis' truck. The three watch in disbelief as the mutilated Calvin is still able to turn his head towards them.

| ShortSummary = After their encounter, Nick, Madison and Travis decide to flee to the desert, and want Alicia, Liza and Chris to go with them. Meanwhile, Alicia finds her boyfriend Matt seriously ill in his disheveled house. Travis arrives and discovers a bite mark on Matt's shoulder, and Matt convinces Alicia to go on without him. Nick begins to suffer withdrawals, so Madison drives to her school to get him Oxycontin. There she encounters Tobias collecting food, who is nearly bitten moments later by the principal, Artie. Madison manages to kill him and takes Tobias home, realizing he was right. Elsewhere, Chris is on a bus trapped in a zombie shooting-caused traffic jam. Chris films the event, and joins in a protest against the recent police shootings. Travis and Liza meet up with Chris there just as another zombified person is shot by police, triggering riots. The three find refuge with the Salazar family (Daniel, Griselda, and their daughter Ofelia) in their gated barber shop-apartment. Alicia witnesses their zombified neighbor, Mr. Dawson, attack another neighbor across the street, but is prevented from intervening by Madison. Across town, Travis, Liza, Chris and the Salazar family remain trapped inside as the riots intensify.

| ShortSummary = With riots raging outside, a fire starts in the room next door, forcing everyone to flee. The group manages to reach Travis' truck and escape, but not before Griselda is wounded by a falling scaffold. They attempt to take her to a hospital, but it is already overrun by the undead, forcing them to head to Madison's home instead. At Madison's house, Nick, Madison and Alicia flee when Mr. Dawson attempts to enter. Travis returns and is attacked by Mr. Dawson, but is saved when Daniel shoots him in the head with a shotgun. All three families decide to stay in the house for the night and evacuate in the morning. Ofelia recommends to her father that they flee with Travis, but Daniel thinks they are "weak" and insists they can survive on their own. The next morning, the Clark and Manawa families prepare to evacuate, but before they can, the California Army National Guard arrives and locks down the entire neighborhood. While everybody believes things will get better now, Daniel watches the soldiers quarantining the neighborhood and laments that it's "too late".

==Lawsuit==
In July 2018, Mel Smith, the creator of the comic book series ''Dead Ahead'', filed a lawsuit against AMC Studios charging that the second season of ''Fear the Walking Dead'' stole thematic elements from ''Dead Ahead'', specifically a group of survivors attempting to flee a zombie apocalypse by a boat. The lawsuit also includes David Alpert, who was Smith's agent and who remains a business partner with Robert Kirkman, and who is one of ''Fear''{{'}}s executive producers; Smith's lawsuit asserts that Alpert violated his [[fiduciary duty]] to protect Smith's interests when he began working on ''Fear''. AMC attempted to have the lawsuit dismissed, stating that once one stripped out generic elements of the zombie genre, there were no further similarities between the works. In February 2019, judge [[Lucy Koh]] rejected this, believing that it would be necessary to have a discovery phase and expert testimony to evaluate AMC's stance.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/judge-wont-kill-lawsuit-claiming-fear-walking-dead-ripped-comic-book-1181866 |title=Judge Won't Kill Lawsuit Claiming AMC's 'Fear the Walking Dead' Ripped Off Comic Book |first=Eriq |last=Gardner |date=February 1, 2019 |access-date=February 1, 2019 |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |archive-date=November 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201113223329/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/judge-wont-kill-lawsuit-claiming-fear-walking-dead-ripped-comic-book-1181866 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Fear the Walking Dead is an American post-apocalyptic horror drama television series created by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson for AMC. It is a spin-off to The Walking Dead, which is based on the comic book series of the same name by Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. It is also the second television series within The Walking Dead franchise. The first three seasons serve as a prequel, focusing on a blended family who experience the start of the zombie apocalypse. Subsequent seasons run concurrently to the original show, with Morgan Jones (Lennie James) from The Walking Dead crossing over into the series.

The series features a large ensemble cast, originally led by Kim Dickens as Madison Clark, Cliff Curtis as Travis Manawa, Frank Dillane as Nick Clark, and Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia Clark. Following a soft reboot with its fourth season, the series was led by Lennie James as Morgan Jones. Other series regulars have included Colman Domingo, Mercedes Mason, Rubén Blades, Danay García, Maggie Grace, Garret Dillahunt, Jenna Elfman, Alexa Nisenson, Karen David, Austin Amelio, Mo Collins, and Christine Evangelista.

The series premiered on August 23, 2015. Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg served as the showrunners for the fourth to eighth season, succeeding Erickson from the first three. The series concluded on November 19, 2023, after eight seasons and 113 episodes. Initially set in Los Angeles, filming for the series took place in Los Angeles, Texas, Vancouver, Canada, Mexico, and Georgia.

Premise

[edit]

Set in Los Angeles, California and later in Mexico,[1] the first three seasons of Fear the Walking Dead follow a dysfunctional, blended family composed of high school counselor Madison Clark, her English teacher fiancé Travis Manawa, her daughter Alicia, her drug addict son Nick, Travis' son from a previous marriage, Chris, Chris' mother Liza Ortiz, and others who join their group at the onset of the zombie apocalypse.[2][3] They must reinvent themselves, learning new skills and adopting new attitudes in order to survive as civilization collapses around them.[4]

Beginning in the fourth season, the series shifts focus toward Morgan Jones, a character from the original series, who encounters the group's surviving members and new survivors in Texas.

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a rating of 76%, based on 206 reviews, whose average rating is 6.75/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Fear the Walking Dead recycles elements of its predecessor, but it's still moody and engrossing enough to compete with the original."[94] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 66 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[95]

Elisabeth Vincentelli of the New York Post rated the first two episodes three out of four stars, stating that "[They] are creepily suspenseful–they're great examples of how effective a slow pace and a moody atmosphere can be."[103] Another positive review of the first episode came from Ken Tucker of Yahoo TV, who wrote, "Fear the Walking Dead is a mood piece, more artful than the original series" and that the cast is "terrific".[104] Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The 90-minute first episode and the hour-long second episode are, while not actually boring, certainly less magnetic than the original."[105] Daniel Fienberg and Alan Sepinwall of HitFix reviewed the premiere episode, with Fienberg calling it "awful ... as bad as The Walking Dead has ever gotten at its very worst", while Sepinwall called his B− review "slightly generous".[106][107]

Season 2

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a rating of 70%, based on 223 reviews, whose average rating is 6.6/10.

Season 3

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the third season has an approval rating of 84% based on 110 reviews, with an average rating of 7.25/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A distinctive ensemble brings a compelling flavor of Fear the Walking Dead mythos, but this ambitious spinoff still shares its originator's penchant longwinded pacing that may diminish the tension for some viewers."[98] In his season review for IGN, Matt Fowler gave it an 8.2 out of 10, writing, "Fear the Walking Dead more solidly found its tone and voice this season by embracing the arid landscape, ramping up the human-on-human conflict, and rallying around Kim Dickens' anti-hero mom, Madison, as the driving character", and it is now "a better series overall than The Walking Dead".[108]

Season 4

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the fourth season has an approval rating of 80% based on 164 reviews, with an average rating of 6.85/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Fear the Walking Dead shuffles onward confidently in its fourth season with a bevy of horrifying set-pieces and heartbreaking twists, but some viewers may be dispirited by the series' constant reshuffling of its characters."[99] TVLine reevaluated the series for its fourth season, giving it a grade of a "B+". Reviewer Charlie Mason wrote, "it's gone from being an adequate stopgap between seasons of The Walking Dead to a show that's as good or arguably even better than the one from which it was spun off", stating that the season has had several genuine surprises in its storytelling.[109]

Season 5

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a rating of 55% based on 211 reviews, with an average rating of 5.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Despite delivering some memorable and splatter-filled zombie set-pieces that fans crave, Fear the Walking Dead feels stiff with early-onset rigor mortis in a fifth season that emphasizes altruism over coherent characterization."[100]

Lawsuit

[edit]

In July 2018, Mel Smith, the creator of the comic book series Dead Ahead, filed a lawsuit against AMC Studios charging that the second season of Fear the Walking Dead stole thematic elements from Dead Ahead, specifically a group of survivors attempting to flee a zombie apocalypse by a boat. The lawsuit also includes David Alpert, who was Smith's agent and who remains a business partner with Robert Kirkman, and who is one of Fear's executive producers; Smith's lawsuit asserts that Alpert violated his fiduciary duty to protect Smith's interests when he began working on Fear. AMC attempted to have the lawsuit dismissed, stating that once one stripped out generic elements of the zombie genre, there were no further similarities between the works. In February 2019, judge Lucy Koh rejected this, believing that it would be necessary to have a discovery phase and expert testimony to evaluate AMC's stance.[163]

In March 2019, AMC settled the lawsuit, details remained confidential.[164]
