Living in the same universe as The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead is, gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family.

Set in a city where people come to bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counsellor Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) and English teacher Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis) have managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families while dealing with resentful children takes a back seat when society begins to break down and as the necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, they must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.
