Although it doesn’t do nearly as well in the Nielsen ratings as the original series does, the Fear the Walking Dead TV show has been AMC’s second-highest rated series. As a less popular prequel to the mothership, which has a sequel on the way, how much longer can it continue? Will Fear the Walking Dead be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An AMC horror drama, Fear the Walking Dead stars Lennie James, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Garret Dillahunt, Maggie Grace, Jenna Elfman, Alexa Nisenson, Austin Amelio, Ruben Blades, and Karen David. In the fifth season, Morgan Jones (James) leads the group to find other survivors and make the best of a devastated world.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you still like the Fear the Walking Dead TV series? Should this AMC TV show be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?
*7/19/19 update: AMC has renewed Fear the Walking Dead for a sixth season.
a series can be repetitive and I would have to say this is the single most repetitive story line… with a sour ending… everything the characters were saying they fought for and want to create falls apart in the last episode of season 5, most depressing show on television, watch at your own peril and risk to your sanity and peace-of-mind… troublesome shows are good if there are lessons to be learned about we humans, but this season was unquestionably weak on concept development… please do not offer another season…
Struggling to watch this season. I want to see if it merged with walking dead. If not soon I don’t know if I can get into it
Here’s a crazy idea for a story line, how about we explore some possible reasons on what started this zombie apocalypse, what governments did (or tried to do) to cure/solve it and what if any efforts are still viable for a cure instead of the constant good guy vs bad guy warfare?
