The post-apocalyptic horror series “Fear the Walking Dead” will end with its upcoming Season 8.
AMC made the announcement on Tuesday as part of its presentation at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.
In addition, the network also announced that the final season of the “Walking Dead” companion series would consist of 12 episodes that will roll out in two six-episode blocks.
The first part will premiere on May 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC and AMC+. The second part will premiere later this year.
The announcement was part of a larger announcement related to the “Walking Dead” universe, with also featured AMC setting premiere dates for the spinoff shows “The Walking Dead: Dead City” starring Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan and “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” starring Norman Reedus.
There was also a production update on the Rick/Michonne limited series starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira.
The eighth season of “Fear the Walking Dead” begins after the conclusion of Season 7 when Morgan’s (Lennie James) and Madison’s (Kim Dickens) hopes to rescue Mo from PADRE did not go as planned.
Morgan, Madison, and the others they brought to the island are living under PADRE’s cynical rule. With the characters demoralized and dejected, the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place — Morgan’s daughter, Mo.
The cast of the series includes James, Dickens, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Austin Amelio, Christine Evangelista, Karen David, Jenna Elfman, and Rubén Blades.
It is executive produced by Gimple, showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, Michael Satrazemis, and David Alpert. AMC Studios produces.
The move to end the series comes after the mothership show aired its eleventh and final season in 2022, with the series finale airing in November.
