Fear the Walking Dead Exclusively Airs in AMC in the Philippines
Companion series to the number 1 show on US television, “The Walking Dead”, this new and exclusive dramatic thriller focuses on new characters and storylines. Set in Los Angeles, the show explores the very beginning of the plague that led to the zombie apocalypse depicted in “The Walking Dead”.Living in the same universe as “The Walking Dead”, “Fear the Walking Dead” is a gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counsellor Madison Clark and English teacher Travis Manawa have managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families while dealing with resentful, escapist and strung out children takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution and a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold and our dysfunctional family must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.
