The show explores what the world looked like as it was transforming into the horrifying apocalypse depicted in THE WALKING DEAD. The new series is set in Los Angeles and follows new characters as they face the beginning of the end of the world.

AMC has announced a new and innovative plan which will go along with the companion series as they will be introducing a Season 2 main character over the course of a web series which will appear online during the commericial breaks of THE WALKING DEAD this Fall.

The web series will be set on an airplane as the outbreak is happening. It will all unfold in chapters and by the end of it we will know who will have survived long enough to make it to L.A. and become the new cast member of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. Season 2 will be comprised of 15 episodes.

“‘FEAR OF THE WALKING DEAD takes us back to the earlier, more dangerous, more terrifying days of ‘THE WALKING DEAD,’” said Kirkman. “A time when danger was lurking around every corner and the thing mostly likely to get you killed was your own ignorance of the rapidly changing world around you. The stakes are going to be higher and the ride more intense. We're going to show people all the insanity of civilization crumbling that Rick Grimes slept through. Buckle up."
