Fear the Walking Dead Announces Season 8 and a Major Characters Return
AMC announces the renewal of Fear the Walking Dead for an eighth season, as well as the return of a major character.
Fear the Walking Dead has been renewed for an eighth season.
AMC announced the renewal during the most recent episode of Talking Dead following the series finale of The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Along with the announcement of Season 8, it was revealed that Kim Dickens, who played Madison Clark for Seasons 1 through 4, will return as a series regular. Dickens will make her return in the second half of Season 7 when it returns on April 17, 2022, for which AMC also released a new promo.
"If there were a Mt. Deadmore, Kim Dickens' face would be on it. Madison Clark is afoundational character to TWDU -- heroic, complex, an everyperson who becomes a warriorand then a force of benevolence," said Scott M. Gimple, the Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe. "Kim Dickens' raw talent, strength, and brilliance will electrify TWDU oncemore and we couldn't be luckier to have her back."
Dickens' Madison Clark last appeared in Fear The Walking Dead's Season 4 midseason finale in 2018 where she presumably died after sacrificing herself to lead a horde of walkers away from her family. While Madison was seen in a flashback in a following episode, she has not appeared on the show since. Though the full capacity of her role in Season 7 remains unclear, she will continue to appear in the series as a recurring character in the show's eighth season. All of the new episodes of Fear the Walking Dead will continue to be available one week early on AMC+, with the new episodes for Season 7 appearing on April 10.
Season 7 will consist of 16 episodes in total, with the first half of Fear the Walking Dead ending with the midseason finale, Episode 8, "Padre." Like the rest of Season 7, the second half will continue to follow the effects of Teddy's (John Glover) nuclear blast. Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) as the only character truly thriving, with a growing community where he decides who lives and who dies. Alicia, played by Alycia Debnam-Carey, is plagued by a mysterious illness as she reluctantly takes her place as the leader of Teddy's former followers. As the search continues for the mythical Padre, Alicia will declare war on Strand while new threats emerge in the characters' continued fight for survival.
Fear the Walking Dead will return April 17, with new episodes available a week early on AMC+.
