Fear the Walking Dead returns for Season 4B in mid August.

This screens same day as the US.

The first half of season four began with one figure huddled around a campfire, and ended with nine. Characters who started their journeys in isolation collided with each other in unexpected ways and found themselves in one of the last places they ever expected to be…together. In the back half of the season they will explore who they are now – as individuals and as part of the greater group – and how they will forge ahead. They will find themselves pitted against new adversaries – human, walker, and even nature itself. Theirs will be a journey wrought with danger, love, heartbreak, loss, and ultimately, hope.

Mondays from August 13 at 1.30pm on Showcase.

  1. Count me out. I enjoyed the first 3 seasons a lot before Scott Gimple takes over as the show runner this year and is already ruined the show. What is worse that he killed off the lead character who just happens to be a mature woman and replacing her with a male character who barely spoken the whole season. Many of us called out sexism and ageism.

  2. Fear the Walking Dead actually revived the genre in the first season it was like a rewind with a new perspective of the events, the new disparate characters refreshed a stale format that was running out of steam in the Walking Dead. But that was season one, three more seasons ahead and we have converging stories merging both shows (surprise,surprise) in the tried and true formulaic horror style of The Walking Dead. There must be a fear for the showrunners that at some point an explanation will be required for a reason, apart from supernatural evil, that allows dead flesh and muscle to be animated for so many years,even more curiously why the many survivors had not used available technology to cull the unintelligent Zombies en masse sooner, in large scale operations.

    1. I quite enjoyed the first season as it went back to day 1 to show us how it all started, but by season 2 it became the same as the Walking Dead as we followed a group of people looking for sanctuary. There was too much focus on the young guy for my liking too, so I gave it away at the end of the second season. Yes, some answers to the questions you’ve raised would be great, but I just can’t see them coming.
