Fear The Walking Dead doesn’t want you to believe their characters are safe on the high seas. The new Fear The Walking Dead poster sends an ominous warning about what lies ahead for Madison and Travis.
We don’t know much about the second season of the hit Walking Dead spinoff, but we do know the show no longer takes place in Los Angeles, and that production was relocated to Mexico. Fear The Walking Dead showrunner Dave Erickson hinted about what’s to come in the second season during an interview with Variety .
First, the show begins with a small time jump. Fear The Walking Dead Season 1 left off with Travis killing his ex-wife, Liza, after she was bitten by one of the “infected.” Liza originally wanted his girlfriend Madison to kill her, but Travis wanted to do it himself. Travis now has to deal with the aftermath and his relationship with his son Chris (who didn’t know that his mother was infected) as they travel around on a boat.
“We make it to the yacht and our big question is ‘what is our final destination now?’ It’s one thing to have escaped land, it’s another to think ‘where do we [go],’” Erickson told Variety . “The good thing about The Abigail is that as a boat, it’s a vessel we can live on for quite some time, which has its advantages but is also something that others might potentially envy. And what we will learn is we weren’t the only people with the bright idea to go to the water.”
Erickson added, “And now we’re stuck on this boat with Victor Strand who we don’t know very well, and somebody who is a bit of an enigma, so I think slowly we’ll peel that onion and get a better sense of who he is. And you also have the dynamic between the Salazars, between Ofelia and Daniel, and the Clark-Manawas, where they’re closer to each other — I think they have bonded over the past couple of weeks — but we will be playing with that question that Exner (Sandrine Holt) posed last season, ‘What is family? Is it blood or is it bond?’ And I think that question will be tested over the course of the season stuck on the boat.”
Fear The Walking Dead returns April 10 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
