Here’s why some fans think Fear the Walking Dead might have spoiled its Season 6B return. Last week, network AMC announced Fear would be returning early for AMC+ subscribers when its midseason premiere, “The Door,” releases exclusively on the platform on April 4 — one week before the episode’s Sunday television premiere on April 11. Walking Dead chief content officer Scott Gimple, an executive producer of the spin-off, previously teased the midseason premiere is a “huge episode” that kicks off a nine-episode Season 6B with “shocks, scares, heartbreaks, and revelations.” But did a tweet ruin the episode in advance?

Ahead of the episode’s early release on AMC+, Fear‘s official account tweeted recommended terms that Twitter users can mute for a “spoiler-free episode.” The #FearTWDSpoiler recommendations include “Madison Clark,” her actress Kim Dickens, and Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), who made a cameo appearance in the Season 4 premiere when Morgan Jones (Lennie James) crossed over from The Walking Dead.
Here’s the full list of #FearTWDSpoiler terms:
Madison
Alicia
Alycia Debnam-Carey
June
Victor Strand
Dakota
Death
Althea
Colman Domingo
Rick Grimes
Morgan
Duane Jones
John Dorie

In ComicBook.com’s four-star and spoiler-free review of the Season 6B premiere and the following episode, we write: “Fear the Walking Dead continues its dramatic 180 in quality with two more compelling and energizing episodes that are among the best ever produced by the Walking Dead spin-off. Point blank: this is the best Fear in years.”
“The Door” releases April 4 exclusively on AMC+ and premieres Sunday, April 11, at 9/8c on AMC. Here’s what fans are saying about those so-called spoilers:
