The Althea Tapes look to Fear The Walking Dead principals Morgan, Alicia, Salazar, Grace, Strand, June, Dwight, Luciana, Charlie and John Dorie for their stories in these opening minutes for the season 5 episode, "Channel 4". Watch the series return this Sunday on AMC.
In Fear the Walking Dead season 5, the group’s mission is clear: locate survivors and help make what’s left of the world a slightly better place. With dogged determination, Morgan (Lennie James) leads the group with a philosophy rooted in benevolence, community and hope. Each character believes that helping others will allow them to make up for the wrongs of their pasts.
But trust won’t be easily earned. Their mission of helping others will be put to the ultimate test when our group finds themselves in uncharted territory, one which will force them to face not just their pasts but also their fears. It is only through facing those fears that the group will discover an entirely new way to live, one that will leave them forever changed.
Fear the Walking Dead is the first spinoff of the AMC TV series The Walking Dead. The show opens on a pre-outbreak Los Angeles. Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) struggles to keep her family together, a family that includes a new marriage to Travis (Cliff Curtis), capable daughter Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey), drug-addicted son (Frank Dillane) and a resentful step-son (Lorenzo James Henrie). As the zombie outbreak escalates, the family is driven away from their homes and into unlikely alliances with enigmatic entrepreneur Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) and the family of the seemingly humble Daniel Salazar (Ruben Blades). Fear the Walking Dead, along with its parent series, are based on the comics created by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard.
