AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462” Webseries Gets a Sequel, “Passage”
Following last year’s successful web series, “Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462,” which delivered over 4.6 million video streams and garnered two Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series, AMC will roll out a new season of “Fear” webisodes, titled “Fear the Walking Dead: Passage.”
The first installment of the 16-part series is currently live at www.AMC.com/passage and will air during one commercial break within “The Walking Dead” Season 7 premiere episode on Sunday, October 23rd.
Subsequent episodes of “Passage,” each less than one-minute long, will debut every Sunday, online and then on-air as promos during new episodes of “The Walking Dead,” for the duration of Season 7. The web series is produced by “Fear the Walking Dead” showrunner and executive producer Dave Erickson, directed and produced by Andrew Bernstein and written by Lauren Signorino and Mike Zunic, who also serve as consulting producers.
“The second season of webisodes follows a fearsome survivor, Sierra (Kelsey Scott), who agrees to help an injured woman, Gabi (Mishel Prada), in exchange for an apocalyptic sanctuary. Over the course of their harrowing journey, the women go on to face many dangers and learn what they need to survive.”
“We saw a tremendous response to last year’s ‘Flight 462’ so we are excited to again be expanding the world of ‘Fear’ with another story of survival at the onset of the apocalypse,” said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV. “It’s great to be working with Dave Erickson and the ‘Fear’ team on this new piece of original short-form content that will continue to engage fans in the series’ off-season.”
A wholly original companion series to “The Walking Dead,” the #1 show on television among adults 18-49 for the last four years, “Fear the Walking Dead’s” explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. The series is executive produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert and Erickson and produced by AMC Studios.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
