'Fear the Walking Dead' Renewed for Season 3
The season 2 premiere of Fear the Walking Dead is not long behind us, and now AMC has announced the inevitable, that the companion series will return for a third season, matching its parent show The Walking Dead for episode count with 16 lined up for its third year.
Additionally, the talk show Talking Dead: Fear will continue on, hosted by Chris Hardwick, to follow every episode of the series. The season two premiere of Fear saw 8.8 million viewers and 5.7 million in the adults 25-54 category. 5.3 million adults 18-49 also tuned in.
“What Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman have invented in ‘Fear The Walking Dead’ is to be applauded. Watching Los Angeles crumble through the eyes of our characters and seeing each make decisions and try to figure out the rules of their new world – it’s fresh, eerie and compelling and we’re all in for the ride,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios.
“As Victor Strand observed, ‘The only way to survive a mad world is to embrace the madness.’ We thank the millions of fans for embracing this mad world and look forward to sailing far into the future.”
