First ‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Teaser Trailer Goes Back To The Beginning

As AMC’sThe Walking Deadwrapped up its fifth season this weekend, it left us with one last parting gift: the first teaser trailer for the upcoming spinoff,Fear the Walking Dead.

Kim Dickens,Cliff Curtis,Frank Dillane, andAlycia DebnamCarey lead the new series, which takes place in the same universe asThe Walking Deadbut in an entirely different time and place. Watch theFear the Walking Deadteaser trailer after the jump.

AMC debuted theFear the Walking Deadteaser during the Season 5 finale ofThe Walking Dead.

At 15 seconds, it doesn’t reveal a whole lot about the new series. And the main characters are nowhere to be seen. Nevertheless, it’s an exciting glimpse at what’s sure to be one of the most talked-about new shows of the year.

The radio announcer doesn’t sound too concerned about the “strange virus” going around, but of course we know better. That lonely walker shuffling through the tunnel at the end is just the beginning.

Billed as a “companion series” toThe Walking Dead,Fear the Walking Deadwill follow an entirely new cast of characters in Los Angeles, at the very start of the zombie outbreak.

Curtis is Sean Cabrera, a divorced teacher raising an angry teenaged son. Sean is dating Nancy (Dickens), a guidance counselor at the school with two kids of her own — Nick (Dillane), a screwup battling a drug addiction; and Ashley (Carey), an ambitious young woman bound for Berkley.

Robert Kirkman,Gale Anne Hurd,Greg Nicotero, andDavid Alpert(ofThe Walking Dead) serve as executive producers. Kirkman additionally co-wrote the pilot withDave Erickson, who will serve as showrunner.Fear the Walking Deadwill debut sometime this summer with a six-episode first season. AMC has already committed to a second season, to air in 2016.
