Fear the Walking Dead will return for season 6. The news was confirmed by showrunner Ian Goldberg during the show’s SDCC 2019 panel. The news is not a surprise as Fear the Walking Dead is AMC’s second most-watched series, averaging over 2 million viewers, according to THR.
Fear the Walking Dead has seen its fair amount of change in the past few years after losing original showrunner Dave Erickson, who led the series into some really interesting stories that set it apart from its older sibling. Season 4 saw the arrival of new showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg as well as star Lennie James, reprising his role as Morgan Jones. Morgan’s journey to the world of the spinoff series meant some other big cast changes for the series, as it shifted focus from the Clark family, Fear the Walking Dead‘s original stars, to a whole new group of characters.
Both Kim Dickens (Madison) and Frank Dillane (Nick) were killed off to make way for Maggie Grace’s Althea, Garret Dillahunt’s lovable John Dorie, and Jenna Elfman’s June, and even Dwight (Austin Amelio) of The Walking Dead. The only remaining characters left from the original group are Alycia Debnam-Carey’s tough-as-nails Alicia and Colman Domingo’s delightful Victor Strand.
Here is everything we know about Fear the Walking Dead season 6.
