What’s This TV Show About?
A post-apocalyptic horror drama series airing on the AMC cable channel, the Fear the Walking Dead TV show stars Lennie James, Kim Dickens, Rubén Blades, Colman Domingo, Danay García, Jenna Elfman, Karen David, Austin Amelio, Christine Evangelista, and Zoey Merchant. The show’s story begins in Los Angeles with a dysfunctional, blended family searching for a safe haven in a horrifying new reality. The eighth season starts after Morgan’s (James) and Madison’s (Dickens) hopes to rescue Mo from PADRE do not go as planned. Morgan, Madison, and the others they brought to the island live under PADRE’s cynical rule. Demoralized and dejected, they realize that the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place — Morgan’s daughter, Mo (Merchant).
Season Eight Ratings
The eighth season of Fear the Walking Dead averaged a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 488,000 viewers. Compared to season seven, that’s down by 50% in the demo and down by 40% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (which includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though there can be other economic factors involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how Fear the Walking Dead stacks up against other AMC TV shows.
