"Fear The Walking Dead," AMC's companion series to hit show "The Walking Dead" slated to debut in August, is already a hotly anticipated among die-hard Dead Heads. But that excitement skyrocketed when AMC recently released the titles and plot summaries for the Pilot episode and its follow up.
Episode 101: Pilot
"A highly dysfunctional blended family is forced together when they realize a reported virus is actually the onset of the undead apocalypse."
Episode 102: So Close, Yet So Far
"While Madison struggles to keep Nick from crippling withdrawal, Travis ventures out to find his son before the city of Los Angeles falls."
As mentioned before, AMC views "Fear The Walking Dead" as a companion series to its predecessor. However, to offer viewers something fresh, the show will examine the early stages of the zombie virus outbreak and the initial collapse of society at first. While the show won't answer some of the biggest questions "Dead" fans have, it will offer a glimpse into a time period they haven't seen quite yet without being a full blown prequel.
Either way, "Dead" fans should be excited.
