Fear the Walking Dead Season 8 Synopsis
The eighth season begins after the conclusion of Season 7, when Morgan's and Madison's hopes to rescue Mo from P.A.D.R.E. did not go as planned. Now, Morgan, Madison and the others they brought to the island are living under P.A.D.R.E.'s cynical rule. With our characters demoralized and dejected, the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place — Morgan's daughter, Mo.
Season 8 stars Lennie James, Kim Dickens, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Austin Amelio, Karen David, Christine Evangelista, Jenna Elfman, and Ruben Blades.
