"What Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman have invented in 'Fear the Walking Dead' is to be applauded," Charlie Collier, president of AMC, said in a statement. "Watching Los Angeles crumble through the eyes of our characters and seeing each make decisions and try to figure out the rules of their new world - it's fresh, eerie and compelling and we're all in for the ride."
