First look at season 3 of ‘Fear the Walking Dead’
AMC’s original series Fear the Walking Dead will return for its third season on Monday 5th June at 2:00am, broadcast simultaneously with the US premiere with a repeat at 9:00pm exclusively to BT customers. The first half of the AMC Studios production will consist of eight episodes airing over six weeks, with two back-to-back episodes on Monday 5th June and a mid-season finale of two back-to-back episodes on Monday 10th July. To coincide with the announcement, AMC have released new photography today from season three, currently in production in Baja, Mexico:
As Fear the Walking Dead returns for season three, our families will be brought together in the vibrant and violent region formerly known as the U.S.-Mexico border. International lines done away with following the world’s end, our characters must attempt to rebuild not only society, but family as well. Madison has reconnected with Travis, her apocalyptic partner, but Alicia has been fractured by her murder of Andres. Madison’s son is only a few miles from his mother, but Nick’s first action as a leader saw him and Luciana ambushed by an American militia group — the couple escaped death, Luciana was shot and Nick no longer feels immortal. Recovering both emotionally and physically, Strand has his sights set on harnessing the new world’s currency, and Ofelia’s captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father.
Fear the Walking Dead stars Kim Dickens as Madison, Cliff Curtis as Travis, Frank Dillane as Nick, Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia, Mercedes Mason as Ofelia, Colman Domingo as Strand and Danay Garcia as Luciana. Joining the cast as series regulars for season three are British actors Daniel Sharman (The Originals, Teen Wolf) and Sam Underwood (The Following) as well as Dayton Callie (Sons of Anarchy, Deadwood), who will play the Otto family, founders of a survivalist organization who prepared for the fall of democracy, but didn’t anticipate the rise of the dead, and Lisandra Tena (Chicago P.D.) as Lola Guerrero.
Season 3 of Fear the Walking Dead will be available free of charge in the UK to BT customers on the AMC channel, number 332 on BT TV, and to BT Sport Pack subscribers on Sky channel 192. AMC is also available in HD on both BT TV and Sky with an HD subscription. The first episode will be simulcast free on the BT Showcase channel on Freeview.
