AMC Renews “Fear the Walking Dead” for Fifth Season
AMC announced at this past weekend’s TCA summer press tour that they have renewed “Fear the Walking Dead” for a fifth season.

“In the back half of the season, the characters 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.”
“Fear The Walking Dead” stars Lennie James (“Snatch”, ”Lockout”) as Morgan Jones, Alycia Debnam-Carey (“Into The Storm”, ”Friend Request”) as Alicia Clark, Colman Domingo (“Lincoln”, “Selma”) as Victor Strand, Danay Garcia (“Prison Break”, “CSI: NY”) as Luciana Galvez, Garret Dillahunt (“12 Years a Slave”, “Deadwood”) as John, Maggie Grace (“Taken 3”, “Lost) as Althea, and Jenna Elfman (“Dharma & Greg”, “Keeping the Faith”) as Naomi.
The series is executive produced by Scott M. Gimple (“The Walking Dead”, “Fillmore!”), showrunners Andrew Chambliss (“Once Upon a Time”, “Dollhouse”) and Ian Goldberg (“Once Upon a Time”, “End of Summer”), as well as Robert Kirkman (“The Walking Dead”, “Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics”),David Alpert (“The Walking Dead”, “Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics”), Gale Anne Hurd (“The Walking Dead”, ”The Terminator”) and Greg Nicotero (“The Walking Dead”, “Sin City”), and produced by AMC Studios.
Production on Season 4 of Netflix’s “The Witcher” is now underway, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill. Additionally, Netflix has announced today that “The Witcher” has been renewed for a fifth and FINAL season.
Netflix announces, “[Season 4] will be followed by a final season that’s being shot back-to-back with the fourth, and will complete the adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books.”
“It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia,” said creator/showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski’s books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn’t be our show if we didn’t push our family of characters to their absolute limit — stay tuned to see how the story ends.”
The fourth and fifth seasons will cover Sapkowski’s three remaining books: Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake. As mentioned, Liam Hemsworth is taking over the role of Geralt from Henry Cavill, who played the character in the first three seasons.
“As a Witcher fan, I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia,” said Hemsworth. “Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honored that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world.”
Sharlto Copley, James Purefoy, and Danny Woodburn will also star in Season 4, alongside Laurence Fishburne, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan and Joey Batey.
“After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out Season 3, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri, who are separated and traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire — and finding one another again.”
