Fear The Walking Dead wrapped up season one on Sunday night. Fans of this series do not need to worry about the series being cancelled. AMC locked up a second season for the series before it even premiered. Fans will see more of Travis, played by Cliff Curtis, and his family on AMC.
Season one of Fear The Walking Dead did receive a lot of criticism. Fans were not loving the slow pace of the series. This is a departure from The Walking Dead, which is fast paced each and every week. That series will return to AMC with season six on Sunday night.
Dave Erickson tackled the criticism and teased season two of the series in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“We’ll pick up in a more accelerated pace when we go in to the season. We’ve learned a lot: our characters in their apocalyptic education have learned what walkers are. Even Travis has had to shed some of his humanity for the first time, which was his great struggle. We’ll have more of a shorthand going in to season two. There are still things for them to discover. They haven’t had the benefit of the CDC download. They know the city has fallen and know things are incredibly bad and they know that this is happening in other states and potentially other countries but they haven’t had anybody say to them, ‘The world is over; this is our extinction event.’ That’s something they’ll have to process as they move through season two as well.”
As for where the action will pick up at the start of season two, Erickson revealed that there would not be a major time jump. If there is a jump forward in time, it would be a small jump forward.
As for the military involvement on this series, that will lessen as the series progresses. Fans of the show saw the military abandon Los Angeles in the season one finale.
Erickson told The Wrap what is next on this series as far as the military and government are concerned.
“Well, the retreat to the desert is real. This is only two weeks into this, we’re not quite at where Rick Grimes was when he woke up in Georgia. So there’s still hold-outs, there are still cities that haven’t fallen yet. By the time we get to Week 4 or Week 5, that’s when things have completely collapsed, but from a story perspective, if we were to encounter any military figures, it would be like someone trying to get home to his own family. We won’t really see the military as a force, we won’t see a commanding officer trying to marshal troops or trying to secure neighborhoods. I think we’ve moved away from that.”
A premiere date for Fear The Walking Dead season two has not yet been set, but the series is coming back.
Will you be watching season two of this series? Tell us what you think.
That is my favourite show, Fear the walking dead show is more realistic than the walking dead, everyday people, realistic events. I can’t wait to see you back.
I loved the show. A little slow at first but crews on to be great. Look forward to a 2nd season but hope there will be more then 6 episodes.
I the show and I am glad there is a season 2 but they should have more season’s committed to it and I want to see where they go with it. It was too short at 6 episodes for a season. The writers needs to up the ante on the show but I think that will develop over time.
I can’t wait for season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead. It’s great. For those who think it was slow getting started; that’s the way stories should be. You get to know the characters, get to feel something for them. That’s the way relationships start. It’s a terrific show.
yes i will watch season 2 i liked the slow pace and then the build up i hope this show survives like the walking dead and i wonder why did people complain about show even at episode 1 considering its a new show people should have watched a few episode rather than complain in episode 1.
yes I will watch season two because it’s interesting to see how the zombie apocalypse and the chaos started. In the walking dead we never got to see that happen so now we do
Heck no !!! I will not be watching this bit of dribble … I watched the first three or four years of “the ambulating deceased”. I had to quit watching that show. Zombies are OK, for a while, they get BORING real fast (like 4 years fast). Vampires on the other hand play better, they are more versatile. Zombies can only walk funny, make grunting noises and EAT …
I liked FWD. I enjoyed seeing the break down from the beginning. I enjoy the characters but I do have to admit I am not as emotionally attached to this crew yet as WD.
They should kill of the entire cast and nobody would care, wasted 6 hours of my life on this mess. The rich guy and the nerd from earlier in the season would have made a better more interesting show. At the end you cared about nobody, we were supposed to care that someone gets killed and we don’t , they turned loose an army of walkers on the soldiers guilty and innocent alike, they deserve to die.
You know, I didn’t think was going to like Fear the Walking Dead because the show is a little different, but it’s not bad at all, even though The Walking Dead will still be my favourite Zombie Show, absolutely love the actors, and their characters.
So I will be watching Season 2 when it comes back….
I’ll watch the second season-looking forward to it. I’m not a zombie fan, but his was done more like some kind of mysterious plague had caused the holocaust, which I think is more believable. i think the slow buildup was appropriate to the subject. Hopefully, they won’t let some of these brain dead commentors influence the pace of the next season……
