Last year, Fear the Walking Dead was AMC’s second highest-rated scripted series (behind The Walking Dead). The zombie drama did very well for the cable channel but the numbers dropped quite a bit over the short season. Will the ratings keep falling or will they rise? Cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
Fear the Walking Dead, explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counselor Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) and English teacher Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis) have managed to find. The rest of the cast includes Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Lorenzo James Henrie, Rubén Blades, Mercedes Mason, and Colman Domingo.
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? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I hear it got renewed before season 3….somebody is in a hurry. It’s like no no, everything’s fine! This franchise isn’t failing or anything, not at all. Show runner in the meantime is like see ya! At least get rid of the mother, Alicia moodyass Clark and druggie brother. Actually get rid of everyone. Then cancel it. I look forward to see a continued ratings drop from here. FTWD cheated its way to its current position. Tied to a dying franchise, I hope it gets its comeuppance for being misleading and terrible.
If you could kill off the mother and get some new actors in there. Bring back the black guy with the boat and it might survive. I can’t stand most of the actors, whoever came up with these people aren’t in the same class as The Walking Dead group. I think this is on its ways out!!
Season 3 of Fear The Walking Dead looks to be the final season. The showrunner has just stepped down.
He took flight!! Never a good sign. XD I feel so sorry for the new washed up teen wolf and buffy actors joining this. They seem just as desperate as amc. Alycia was the only actor that wasn’t washed up when she joined this. Thanks to her bad decision, she is washed up now however. Epic fail all round.
Add gay characters to your show and watch the rating do a death spiral. Nobody likes The Walking Dead or it’s sister show, Fear The Walking Dead. They can take their political correctness and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
