In response, Walking Dead showrunner Scott Gimple - who would soon relinquish his own showrunner role after eight seasons to take over as chief content officer for the Walking Dead franchise - joined Fear as an executive producer and helped oversee the search for a replacement showrunner. Season 3 showrunner Dave Erickson stepped down from the show and transitioned to a multiyear development deal with AMC. The break between seasons 3 and 4 was a time of turmoil for Fear. The drastic restructuring seems to have had the intended effect: After suffering steep declines in Fear’s second and third seasons, the ratings have stabilized (and even slightly rebounded) this year.Īttempting to start fresh in Season 4 was an even taller order for Fear, but the spinoff, which was recently renewed for a fifth season and returned from a hiatus on Sunday for the second half of Season 4, has made the makeover work, morphing into a weirder, wilder, and more adventurous show that stands apart from - and in some ways surpasses - the franchise flagship. Saddled with dwindling ratings and an indistinct identity at the end of its third season, The Walking Dead’s less celebrated descendant embarked on an ambitious reboot that tried to do for Fear what critically acclaimed course corrections had done for HBO’s The Leftovers and AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire in their second seasons. The redesigned intro was just the first indication of a comprehensive overhaul that extended to every aspect of the show, from the creative team to the cast to the visual style, storytelling approach, and episode structure. “It feel like I’m watching Fear the Walking Dead.” For the stewards of the series, though, changing what watching Fear feels like was the idea. “It feels so out of place,” one YouTube commenter said. Because in a zombie-infested post-nuclear wasteland, that makes sense.For some longtime Fear fans, the new look was jarring. And as for Josiah? Well, he was welcome to join them, but he preferred to go it alone for a while longer. She would go back to the Pennsylvania with Morgan. So Sarah begged Strand not to even tell Wendell that she had been there.
But if Victor sent Wendell out to see Sarah, whose loyalty had been lacking, in Victor’s estimation, there was no going back.
And upon arriving, Strand gleefully revealed that not only was Sarah’s brother there, he was thriving. “What have I done?” cried Josiah as we rhetorically cried, “What have you done?” This show… seriously.Īfter Rufus was buried, Morgan, Sarah and Josiah made tracks to Victor’s tower to see if Wendell was there. When it was sent flying in the ensuing dustup, guess who got bitten? With that, he pulled out his brother’s head as if to let it bite Morgan. He wasn’t going to kill Morgan - Emile was. When ultimately, Morgan arrived to assist the unlikely tag team in fending off walkers, Josiah said that Sarah was right. What are the odds, right? Sarah walkie-talkie’d Morgan for help, but only because she was sure that Josiah wasn’t really a killer. Would no one ever freaking think about the dog? It wasn’t like he had a seatbelt!īecause this is TV, everyone survived the crash - even Rufus - but they were trapped in the truck… and right next to a much-ballyhooed leaky nuclear warhead. When he still managed to get into the vehicle, she drove it off a cliff with them and Rufus in it. She then tried to leave Josiah behind, speeding off in his Park Ranger truck.

Before long, the duo, along with Rufus (who you’ll recall somehow came into Josiah’s possession), ran afoul of a Stalker whose barn full of stripped-down walkers also housed… Wendell’s wheelchair! Freaking out, Sarah attacked the guy, who in turn let loose a bunch of walkers.
