Fear the Walking Dead Episode 5×06 is titled, “The Little Prince.” The official synopsis for The Little Prince reads, “Facing impossible odds, Luciana and the group work together to tackle an impossible task while Morgan helps prevent disaster. Elsewhere, an old friend presents Sarah, Charlie, and Strand with a solution.” The episode is direct by Sharat Raju on a script from Mallory Westfall.
The new episode will bring Austin Amelio back into the mix, continuing his crossover as The Walking Dead’s Dwight on Fear the Walking Dead. The character debuted two weeks ago. “It was exciting for us to sit down with Austin because we’re huge fans of his character and of the work he did on The Walking Dead,” Fear the Walking Dead co-showrunner Ian Goldberg told EW. “But what we thought was cool and what we got excited about with bringing Dwight onto Fear is that it was going to be a redemption story, and we were going to see a more hopeful side of Dwight start to take shape.”
In last Sunday’s Episode 5×05, Fear the Walking Dead finally revealed details surrounding the mysterious helicopter group which took Rick Grimes away from Alexandria on the flagship series. Whether or not the group will return to the spinoff series is unknown as Morgan, Alicia, John, Althea, June, and Luciana continue leading the story in Texas.
Talking Dead will not air a new episode following Sunday’s new episode of Fear the Walking Dead. Chris Hardwick’s recap hour will return on July 21, following the Mid-Season finale.
