The original Walking Dead series is ending with season 11. Since this spin-off has never been a big hit for AMC in the ratings, is Fear the Walking Dead more likely to be cancelled or renewed for season eight? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A post-apocalyptic horror drama series, the Fear the Walking Dead TV show stars Lennie James, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Maggie Grace, Colman Domingo, Danay García, Austin Amelio, Mo Collins, Alexa Nisenson, Karen David, Christine Evangelista, Colby Hollman, Jenna Elfman, Keith Carradine, and Rubén Blades. The show’s story begins in Los Angeles with a dysfunctional and blended family as they search for a safe haven in a horrifying new reality. In the seventh season, Morgan’s group is scattered across Texas as they try to survive the nuclear fallout brought about by Teddy (John Glover) and his followers. Meanwhile, Morgan (James) and Victor (Domingo) clash over their philosophies.
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.

For comparison: Season six of Fear the Walking Dead on AMC averaged a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.18 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. 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. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Fear the Walking Dead TV series on AMC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for an eighth season?
*12/7/21 update: Fear the Walking Dead has been renewed for an eighth season.
Ratings dropped after John’s pointless and stupid death. Best character the show has had in a long time and they kill him off. I don’t buy that he “wanted out.” I’d bet they brought it up to him and he just went with it. There was an initial interview I read where the showrunners said it was there idea.
How many sharks can this series find to jump? I would rather watch 30 year old reruns than this garbage. and I have a really low expectation of most scifi. I think that this show is what creates the ZA by killing off brain cells.
It would be so ironic to bring the many faces of Madison back only to have it canceled. S7 was painful.
If the show is cancelled is because of crap writing, not cuz of Madison.
I don’t know which is worse, the writing or the acting. This current season is cringeworthy and clunky, in addition to being predictable.
They are cancelling the wrong series. TWD is finally having a decent season after having so many dud seasons.
It jumped the shark with the nuclear missile and what they’ve done with Victor Strands character
I havnt watched for several months!
I love Fear The Walking Dead. It’s one of the best(horror-drama) TV shows that I’ve ever watched. I hope that it is renewed
