Fear the Walking Dead launches its sixth season on October 11th. Worries you're not up to speed? Here's Woody Tondorf and the Skybound Rundow to remind you of all the s*** that got stirred in season five.
Season six of Fear the Walking Dead explores what has become of the unlikely family once united by a mission to help those in need. After being torn apart by Virginia (Colby Minifie) and her Pioneers, the group is now dispersed across her far-reaching settlements. Morgan’s (Lennie James) last message at the end of season five implored the group to “Just Live” and this season we’ll see what that means to each of them. Some will find the stability and opportunity within Virginia's communities to be intriguing, some will sink into darkness, while others will fight back against what has been forced upon them. Life behind Virginia's walls will test each and every one of them in different ways, forcing them to define who they are in this new world.
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.
