We know that AMC has already renewed “Fear the Walking Dead” for a third season, but first we have the back half of Season 2 to get through. Following last night’s mid-season finale, we’re cautiously optimistic that the powers-that-be can right what’s been wrong about the season so far; and if you are too, here’s the official word on when the show will return plus a preview of Episode 2.08.
From the Press Release:
AMC’s fan favorite original series “Fear the Walking Dead” will return for the second half of Season 2 on Sunday, August 21st, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, as announced during last night’s “Talking Dead” following the mid-season finale. The second half will consist of eight episodes.
The Season 2 opener delivered 8.8 million viewers, including 5.7 million adults 25-54 and 5.3 million adults 18-49 in live+3 ratings, solidifying “Fear the Walking Dead” as the #2 show on cable (behind only “The Walking Dead”) and the #7 show in all of television – cable and broadcast – among adults 18-49 this television season.
As “Fear The Walking Dead” embarks on the second half of Season 2, the Clark, Manawa, and Salazar families fracture. The events that took place at the Abigail compound have set all of our heroes adrift. Now they must forge their own paths to survive.
“Fear the Walking Dead” is executive produced by showrunner Dave Erickson, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, and David Alpert and stars Kim Dickens as Madison, Cliff Curtis as Travis, Frank Dillane as Nick, Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia, Ruben Blades as Daniel, Mercedes Mason as Ofelia, Lorenzo James Henrie as Chris, and Colman Domingo as Strand.
By virtue of the fact that the official PR for the show is keeping Ruben Blades as a cast member, here’s hoping Daniel didn’t burn himself up and will return at some point. As showrunner Erickson told Yahoo TV, “From my perspective, we didn’t see Daniel burn for a reason. Daniel Salazar’s story is done for the season, but my hope is we will see him return in Season 3.”
