Fear The Walking Dead

Fear The Walking Dead is an American horror television drama companion series of AMC's original The Walking Dead series. Based on the comic series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard, Fear The Walking Dead is set in the initial outset of the walking dead virus, with the executive producers being Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert.

Originally set in Los Angeles, California, the second season centred around the area of Baja California, in Mexico, which carried over into the third season as well. The series is distinct from the original, with Kirkman himself stating that the show is "technically not a spin-off," because it doesn't have any characters in common with the original series. Furthermore, unlike The Walking Dead, the series starts from the outset of the outbreak (see a timeline here). Following the Clark, Manawa, and eventually Salazar family throughout the first season, Fear The Walking Dead became the most-watched series premiere in basic cable television history, when the pilot episode receiving a total of 10.13 million viewers during its initial broadcast with 6.3 million in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic.
