Dead man walking: ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ teases major character death

Great news for zombie fans! A new season of the popular spinoff series “Fear the Walking Dead” is premiering Sunday, Oct. 11, ONAMC. The station announced the news at a virtual Comic-con and played a teaser for Season 6 partway through Season 5.

Despite “The Walking Dead” coming out first, “Fear the Walking Dead” is actually the prequel. It follows a family in Los Angeles at the beginning of the zombie outbreak, who must now forget their old lives and focus on survival. “The Walking Dead” is based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore that began in 2003. “Fear the Walking Dead” continues in the same tradition as the comics and the original series, but this time takes place between Los Angeles, Mexico and Texas.

Season 6 has already promised drama and even more crossovers. In a teaser posted to the show’s official Twitter account, we see Sherry (Christine Evangelista, “The Arrangement”) and Dwight (Austin Amelio, “Mercy Black,” 2019), both crossover characters from “The Walking Dead.” Could this mean a reunion? The tweet is captioned, “Is Sherry how Dwight remembers her?”

We know Dwight went through a lot of personal growth in Season 5 and has already reunited with Alicia (Alycia Debnam-carey, “The 100”) and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson, “Summer Camp Island”). What could this mean for the changes that Sherry has gone through?

The final episode of last season was already packed with drama. John Dorie (Garret Dillahunt,“12 Years a Slave,” 2013) and June (Jenna Elfman,“friends with Benefits,” 2011) are finally married, Grace (Karen David,“galavant”) is pregnant, Virginia (Colby Minifie, “The Boys”) shoots Morgan Jones (Lennie James,“sahara,” 2005) and leaves him for the Walkers, and Dwight is hallucinating Sherry’s voice.

Now, the new trailer shows a glimpse of what’s to come in the next season (which completed filming before the COVID-19 quarantine), set to Morgan’s words from the finale: “If any of you are listening, if any of you can hear me, what we were doing out here, it wasn’t just about doing right.
