“‘Flight 462’ is a great extension of the world of ‘Fear’ and will engage fans across multiple platforms with another riveting story set at the start of the fall of civilization,” said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV. “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Dave Erickson and David Wiener on another piece of original content. Watching how they’ll bring one of these new characters to the second season of ‘Fear’ will be really exciting for viewers to follow.”
The Walking Dead companion series, Fear The Walking Dead explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family in Los Angeles. The series is executive produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert and showrunner Erickson and produced by AMC Studios and Dakota Pictures. The series will return for a 15-episode second season in 2016.
ABC tried this a long time ago with “LOST” mini-sodes. It didn’t work. The short clips didn’t really matter and were quickly forgotten. “Fear” is a snoozefest, so why would we want MORE new characters with minimal action broken up into tiny bits?
The original Walking Dead had three webisodes (Torn Apart, Cold Storage, The Oath), so what Lost did was irrelevant. I doubt they’d make a 4th if the first 3 didn’t have some modicum of success.
The finale was not a snooze fest it’s getting better every episode
AGREE!!
Except that TWD has been doing web-episodes since the beginning.
can someone please Please cancel fear the walking dead this show is a complete failure we dont wanna see slow burns or have blended families rammed down our throats come on just have rick show up to put this show to rest for good. please tv gods cancel this snore-fest
So just because you don’t like it, WE shouldn’t be allowed to watch it either? What are you, a democrat?
You really must not know the definition of the word failure. FTW debuted to 10.1 million viewers making it the most-watched launch in cable history. Not to mention it’s remained the #1 telecast each week it’s been on. Sorry, but looks like the TV gods are in Fear’s favor.
And it’s ratings have been plunging ever since now that MOST people have found out it’s a borefest with awful writing, acting, extras who look like extras and a what looks like a budget of $1000 per episode.
Apparently.
What the hell is wrong with “blended families.”?! Having any family that cares for you is a good family. Many “blended families” are best than the original ones. You should be so lucky to have a loving “blended family.”
Isnt Ricks apocalyptic family a ‘blended family’ ? And seriously It took them 6 yrs to travel to Washington so it a be a while for they’d make it to LA
Not even 2 years really though…
Actually i do see what u mean about 6 years…but do you wish they’d gone right from Atlanta into washington??? So many awesome thingsbhave happened IN BETWEEN!
They still haven’t made it to Washington DC either. They r still in Virginia or something
I for one enjoy fear the walking dead and look forward to the webisodes me and my girlfriend both are big fans of the show., the only reason fear is so slow is because the fact it shows how everything started before TWD I hope they continue with both keep it up!
Hi anonymous your right I for one enjoy fear the walking dead and is a good show I believe once the show picks up that fear the walking dead will become as good as the walking dead which is also a good show people need to give fear the walking dead a chance because even if its slow and in the beginning stages the show could up being just as good as the walking dead come on people give fear the walking dead a chance
this show blew its chance after episode 1 i personally hope this show gets CANCELLED im the the kind of person youll never convince i feel a personal Hatred for this show WE WANT RICK! WE WANT RICK!
I love it! If it offends you and others so much, just change the channel! Don’t ruin it for the rest of us who want to watch!
I’m smelling the stench of the infected and it’s not coming from FTWD. Yes, the show has issues, but you appear to have even more issues.
I absolutely love fear the walking dead and for all you nay sayers wth do you think would happen in the beginning of a real zombie outbreak… It burns me up to hear all these people say o its to slow cancel fear… Hello people this is what happens when it first starts walkers will come… I also loved the webisodes so this flight 462 sounds so awesome keep up the great work kirkmen there’s to many people that watch and like fear to cancel if you don’t like it don’t watch it plain and simple…. Duh…
Personally I thought the show would touch more on scientific/medical events leading up to the outbreak. Not sure yet how I feel about watching from this particular family’s point of view. Still hoping it gets better.
I think it has improved. We are learning why the military sees the need to kill anyone they leave behind, the breakdown of order and the realization our group needs to get far away from what is coming. Civilization is breaking down piece by piece in front of us. The only medical explanation offers was in the last episode when the doctor said “we know muscle impulse returns right after dead. They all come back.”
I think the doctor will end up with our group as they fight to reach the Desert.
im just here to trash this crummy excuse for a show this is an embarrassment to the franchise if youre a true walking dead fan stray away from fear the snoring dead this show is nothing more then garbage if you want a GOOD show watch Z Nation if you wanna spend your sunday nights watching something good put on football instead of this crap, The real walking dead will ALWAYS dominate come on people get to twitter let your voices be heard #CancelFearTWD
Fear The Walking Dead is a very good show. I really like the new characters. I must say I’m surprised by some of the comments. I don’t see a reason for such a division.
Sure. We all love Rick and the others, but this is a different perspective. Even regionally, people would behave differently, so having this spinoff is very good.
I can’t wait for Flight 462. That would be a very frightening situation to say the least.
Give it a chance or go watch football. No need to be such a hater.
Yes and fear the Walking Dead is also boring pointless a waste of time money being wasted spent on nothing bad acting would be a compliment there’s no acting I can go on but no point
Your opinion isn’t universa, so, SHUT UP
Honestly light you don’t know shit. The show is about giving us more of a taste of the universe from a perspective we haven’t seen before. Being able to start a show like this from before the world went to shit is a huge advantage for the writers. Do you know how many idiots I’ve heard say the same thing about the walking dead just because of season 2? And then later when its less of a ‘snore’ fest they hop back on a say its a good now; without even thinking about all those ‘boring’ episodes that detailed important character growth points which is what fucking lead to it being so good later on. And seriously Z Nation? thats a fucking joke
Does AMC just hate viewers? Six episodes is not a season! I like the show, but I have to punish them somehow. I will not be viewing season 2 weekly. I’ll wait until it’s on Netflix
I’m looking forward to the webisode more than the Season Finale. I assume they will be more exciting than the 5.5 hours of FTWD.
I wonder if this is the same airplane Nick sees teetering at the end of episode 3, “The Dog.” If it is – that would be a genius way of connecting the dots.
Genius?
A 5 year old could come up with that and it’s been done before
I I said to my husband I think that’s the plane that finick just saw going in episode 3 to be about lol I heard of the flight episodes and made that connection too
The finale was pretty damn good lot more action in season two
The finale was great I think it’s going to be just as bad ass as TWD
So many haters. I’m shocked. Is it as good as the original? No. Most never are. Is it entertaining? Absolutely. I admit it’s not as good as TWD, and I didn’t connect with the characters as quickly, but it’s still a good show. Too many people expected it to “jump right in” like TWD did. This shows the outbreak from the beginning. Before anyone really knew what was happening. And the collapse of society. (Though the fact that LA went from nothing to almost ruined in the 6 episodes is kinda dumb) But overall it’s a nice perspective on a different area of the country, & the beginning of the apocalypse. Also, it helps fill the huge void TWD leaves after the premiere, & gives us something to watch “in the same universe” as TWD, till it returns in October. So far, it’s not bad. Not the best, but still compelling enough to watch, & it’s getting better.
JMO though.
Sorry…meant to say it fills the void left after “the finale” of TWD, not premiere. Apologies.
FTWD last episode was good. Hopefully the the boring episodes are over. I need carnage!
