Fear the Walking Dead Stand-Alone Special to Be a Flight of the Living Dead

With “Fear the Walking Dead” smashing a multitude of cable records, it’s not surprising that AMC is looking to bring more zombie-related programming to the forefront. According to Entertainment Weekly, AMC is producing a half-hour special that will tell a stand-alone story following a group of passengers facing a walker attack on an airline while in flight.
One character who survives that encounter will then join the cast of “Fear the Walking Dead” in Season 2. Previously AMC has had a stand-alone “The Walking Dead” online web series, but the network never used such content to introduce a new character before he or she joined the show.
The airline attack story will debut online and will unfold in chapters that will air during “The Walking Dead’s” on-air telecasts. In other words: You’re watching “The Walking Dead,” AMC cuts to commercial break, and then you get a chapter in the as-yet-untitled stand-alone airline attack drama.
Beyond that details are scarce. Stay tuned.
