This Sunday sees the season finale of AMC’s spinoff series “Fear the Walking Dead“. However, it’s only the beginning of this story as a new 16-part web series will be kicking off the same day! Titled “Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462“, the first episode will appear on AMC.com and then air during two commercial breaks of the sixth season premiere of “The Walking Dead. The subsequent episodes, each less than a minute long, will appear during commercial breaks of the rest of season six.
One character that will be featured in this web series will also be joining the cast of “Fear The Walking Dead” in the second season.
The synopsis for “Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462” reads:
“Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462” tells the story of a group of passengers aboard a commercial airplane during the earliest moments of the outbreak. Over the course of the series, the plane and the lives of its passengers are put in jeopardy once they discover an infected traveler. The series is written by L. Signorino and Mike Zunic and directed by “Fear” director of photography Michael McDonough.
The new series was produced by “Fear the Walking Dead” showrunner and executive producer Dave Erickson and co-executive producer David Wiener.
Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV, commented, “‘Flight 462’ is a great extension of the world of ‘Fear’ and will engage fans across multiple platforms with another riveting story set at the start of the fall of civilization. We are thrilled to be collaborating with Dave Erickson and David Wiener on another piece of original content. Watching how they’ll bring one of these new characters to the second season of ‘Fear’ will be really exciting for viewers to follow.”
