AMC Renews Fear the Walking Dead For Seventh Season

Fear the Walking Dead has more life in it yet, as AMC has renewed the show for a seventh season. The network announced on Thursday that the hit Walking Dead spinoff has been re-upped for a seventh run. You can see a video teasing the upcoming season below.

The renewal comes as the Walking Dead franchise is looking for new directions. AMC announced in September that the main series would end after its eleventh season in 2022. A spinoff with Carol and Daryl is in development, while AMC’s The Walking Dead: World Beyond has a second and final season on the way and those Walking Dead films are still in the works.

Season six of Fear the Walking Dead had the following synopsis:

Season 6 of Fear the Walking Dead explores what has become of the unlikely family once united by a mission to help those in need. After being torn apart by Virginia (Colby Minifie) and her Pioneers, the group is now dispersed across her far-reaching settlements. Morgan’s (Lennie James) last message at the end of season five implored the group to “Just Live” and this season we’ll see what that means to each of them. Some will find the stability and opportunity within Virginia’s communities to be intriguing, some will sink into darkness, while others will fight back against what has been forced upon them. Life behind Virginia’s walls will test each and every one of them in different ways, forcing them to define who they are in this new world.
