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.
4/15 update: AMC has renewed Fear the Walking Dead for a third season. Details here.

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?
This by far is the worst show on air for me, I hope it gets cancelled asap.
I and many people I know have decided not to watch any series until it has ended properly.
Far too many shows either good or not have been cancelled without a final series ending episode.
Please stop cancelling shows that you leave on a cliff hanger.
All networks should be fined heavily if they don’t finish a series properly for the fans that watched it.
Fear the walking dead is shocking and I’ve chosen not to watch it because I fear it’s going to be cancelled soon.
Well it is shockingly bad so even if it got cancelled on a cliffhanger I wouldn’t even care. And what a coincidence that now the maim show is suffering too. FTWD is an absolute atrocity. Nobody is talking about it, it never gets a single award nomination and it’s fanbase for it as a show in its own right is next to none. Can’t understand why that Alycia girl let her character on The 100 be killed off for this show. Scheduling conflicts, yeah right, she sits on her ass for half a year and does nothing now. My advice… Read more »
Spin off characters are horrible. You hope they all die immediately.
I agree, every single one of them needs to go. Tbh at this stage it might be the better decision to just shut it down altogether. There are many problems with the spin off, the people on it being a big part of that. The fact is that majority of people that do actually watch it are not watching it because of TWD. And now for the first time the ratings of TWD have dropped with people saying it has started to replicate elements of Fear which is a very bad thing. The spin off could very well be the… Read more »
AMC you idiots, you are ruining this franchise with your stupid spin off and now a movie?!! Leave the show alone, you are killing it by messing with it, it is perfect as is, enough with the obvious money spinners because it is really making me dislike Kirkman, does he not have any dignity for his franchise or respect for the fans? Sheesh!!
he probably has no say its either do what amc says or they cancel both
Come on dude you can’t be that naive. Kirkman is a gold digger. He wants his franchise to run until 2030 and is clued in on how to make big bucks with his web series and now Scare Pewdiepie too (oh but that got cancelled). For Kirkman it’s obvious that his main priority now is quantity rather than quality, as seen with this atrocious spin off. Nothing to do with amc. The dude is way in over his head with delusion.
Well, seems like most people want this thing cancelled. I completely get why, it is so bad!!! Gosh it’s lucky to even be getting the ratings that it is, I hope they end it soon, it really is useless.
Watch Stranger Things or Black Mirror instead while TWD is on hiatus next time. They are way slicker productions than Fear anyway and they are just so awesome.
I don’t understand why this spin-off exists at all. It is a complete waste to have this dead weight hanging out of TWD. Also, Talking Dead just seems really pointless and to be blunt, Chris Hardwicke irritates me. Just why.
Wow, this show and everyone on it is just so dull! It puts me asleep! There should definitely be some kind of movement kick-started to pull the plug on this atrocity seeing as the writers have been lazy with this creation and ruined the idea of a WD spin-off. So many more deserving shows were cancelled and it just isn’t right. It has too much power to fade on it’s own though because some fans of TWD are just so gaga that they will literally watch ANYTHING related to TWD. But the majority of us feel that we got the… Read more »
I stopped watching after the 1st episode of season 2. … I was like… this is more irritatingly stupid than I can take. I was just googling to see how it did and was hoping for its cancellation. Seriously, please go away and do not come back another day!
Totally agree with you Alex, it needs to be cancelled if not for the reason that it is lame and an embarrassment for TWD itself, then for the fact that the show is generally stupid, offensive and has toxic effects on any show or actor it is linked to. And also it must happen ASAP before they try to perform a stupid time jump to do a crossover that will only ruin TWD and all the efforts it made to give such a kickass comeback. So does anyone have a plan of action?
Wow, after watching the first season 7 episode of TWD, I realised just how embarrassed I am for FTWD and its followers. Such a lame show, a dead limb hanging onto TWD. Those who.said TWD should be cancelled in its place I can only laugh. It will always be a puppy, never free to roam as one of the big dogs. It needs to end, it’s truly a disgrace now.
I feel the series has no substance and has been so drawn out it is not interesting anymore!
Worst. Show. EVER!! Cancel already for pete’s sake!!
I do agree with a lot of the comments here. This show had a lot of potential and what appeared to be an interesting take on the beginning of the outbreak. But it fell short when the show offered us seclusion from the fall of the government/cities/nations and is heading into a walking dead bis territory. The characters are unlikable and very under developed. The show is using cheap thrills and dumb decisions to move the plot forward and isn’t consistent in its writing. Finally, I was a big fan of Alycia on The 100, and seeing her in a… Read more »
Agree with you both. My love for her doesn’t extend to this show, I cannot make myself love her character, Alicia Clark gets on my nerves. I love Lexa, always have, always will but it ends there now. In saying that, I will always welcome her back like the prodigal daughter should she one day return. For her sake, I hope she will.
Anais, half the reason I started watching Fear is because of Alycia as I absolutely loved her in the 100. But then I discovered how bad she was in Fear, in fact how bad Fear was in general and I resented the fact that she chose this over Lexa anyway who was such an empowering role model. I immediately stopped watching Fear and never intend to return and I don’t follow Alycia anymore, she’s way different now and not the person I originally adored. I do think though, that she is the main reason people are still watching Fear, actress… Read more »
I had such high hopes for this show, but it just doesn’t deliver. It’s sad to see it slip in the ratings almost weekly, but I can understand why. I gave it two seasons, mainly because I love TWD and I really liked Alycia on The 100 and I also liked the idea of plot, but it is just too slow in pace and doesn’t go anywhere. There are no likeable characters on this show either. If it continues like this, I’m pretty sure season three will be it’s last one.
I hope your right about it ending at season 3. The characters are all really bad, it certainly is lucky to have even lasted this long in my opinion. If it was on its own it probably wouldn’t have. It has to be really grateful that TWD had it riding on the back of its success for a while. But now its piggyback ride should be over.
Exactly!! Don’t let those Alycia stans get you down people, speak.the truth as you see it!! I applaud you.
I know, they ruin everything, dang stans and they are so disrespectful to fans of the 100, Clexa and people who say anything bad about Fear. It’s a definite issue we have here.
This show an everyone on it is just painful to watch, it is awful. I hope it gets cancelled soon, people’s standards must be slipping bigtime.
‘Sigh’, I really miss Lexa 🙁 What on earth was Alycia thinking…what was she thinking?! The money or fame was it? Gosh my view of her has really been readjusted now because of this show. And to think the actress in Copenhagan con said that she thought people would want to like Alicia over Lexa because she’s ‘normal’?! What an insult, what an almighty insult. She is so deluded, she is so clueless. And after Lexa fans pouring out their heart to her she throws it back in their face! Wow, I hope this show gets axed. Cancel, cancel, cancel!!!!
And to think the actress in Copenhagan con said that she thought people would want to like Alicia over Lexa because she’s ‘normal’?!
Where? When? I was there and she never said that, stop spreading lies
I think I know where they got that, there definitely was a Hypable article somewhere that said something along those lines. In any case, I don’t give two flying f’s for the actress. This is about Fear the Walking Dead, which she is crap in btw. The whole cast is crap quite frankly and I hope the bloody show gets cancelled, it’s disgracing the honorable FTWD. Oh and I actually saw a couple of episodes of her in that other show, she did seem good in that to be fair. For pete’s sake though are you people sad enough to… Read more »
Ooops, I meant to say the honorable ‘TWD’ in that last post btw…yeah, Fear is just awful.
Who the heck do these Alycia Stans think they are? They don’t even watch TWD they blindly love Fear just because she’s in it. They have no right calling people trolls for saying they don’t like Fear. The mentality of it!!
Wow, an Alycia troll hater. Just to be sure, and to avoid spreading lies like you, I rewatched the Copenhagen panels (both are on youtube), and she never said that. Please stop trolling and go back to The Loo fandom. Thanks.
