Fear The Walking Dead Finale Will Be The Deadliest Episode Of The Season

The world of Fear the Walking Dead has gotten closer to its sibling series with SPOILERS the penultimate episode of season one giving the revelation that everyone is infected, and dealing with a major death.

Well, the death will keep coming, says showrunner Dave Erickson in an interview with THR.

"It will be the deadliest episode of the season," he said of the finale. "There's a ticking clock. Travis, Madison, Daniel, Alicia and Chris are going to find out that their community isn't safe anymore. They're not going to have the protection that they thought they thought they would [with the National Guard] and they still don't have their family back [with Nick, Liza and Griselda, the latter of whom they think is still alive]." But they won't just give up, he assured fans, "What Daniel did worked and now he has information and pieces that are going to enable the group to hopefully take some action going into the finale and try to save their people — and themselves."

Erickson also teased a bit of season two plans, saying that Ofelia in particular will "have to relearn who her father is and come to terms with it. She's in a situation where she wishes her father were the kind and benevolent person she thought he was, and she'll realize that as she continues to face the new world, that person she thought Daniel was is not helpful to our group."

He revealed that season one does not end "exactly at the moment where Rick came to" in the other series, so there's still some time to play with between the moments. "Season two allows our characters to still wander and assume that there's got to be a safe haven - there has to be a city or a state that hasn't fallen," thanks to them not having that CDC moment that the first show did.
