AMC has released a brand-new promo for their upcoming “The Walking Dead” companion series “Fear the Walking Dead,” featuring Frank Dillane’s character Nick on the run from an unseen force, which we will venture a guess is a zombie. Check it out in the player below!
Officially dubbed a “companion series,” “Fear the Walking Dead” is executive produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert and showrunner David Erickson and produced by AMC Studios. Co-Executive Producer Adam Davidson, who directed the pilot, is also directing the second and third episodes.
