Telly’s Take

Since AMC has already renewed Fear the Walking Dead for a fourth season, fans don’t have to worry about an imminent cancellation. Still, the timing of that season four renewal was odd enough, that it makes me wonder if it will turn out to be a fourth and final season. I consider the timing odd, because it did not coincide with a season premiere or season finale, of either this TV series, or The Walking Dead. Instead, the renewal was attached to hiring new showrunners. That said, while Fear the Walking Dead‘s ratings pale in comparison to the original series, it is still the second highest performing AMC TV show. In all likelihood, both creative and financial factors will influence this TV series’ end date. Subscribe for free updates on any Fear the Walking Dead cancellation or renewal news.
