T2 WHATS UP! October 11 - 17, 2020 BY RACHEL JONES TV Media G reat news for zombie fans! A new season of the popular spi- noff series "Fear the Walking Dead" is premiering Sunday, Oct. 11, on AMC. The station announced the news at a virtual Comic-Con and played a teaser for Season 6 partway through Season 5. Despite "The Walking Dead" coming out first, "Fear the Walking Dead" is actually the prequel. It follows a family in Los Angeles at the begin- ning of the zombie outbreak, who must now forget their old lives and focus on survival. "The Walking Dead" is based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore that began in 2003. "Fear the Walking Dead" continues in the same tradi- tion as the comics and the original series, but this time takes place between Los Ange- les, Mexico and Texas. Season 6 has already prom- ised drama and even more crossovers. In a teaser posted to the show's official Twitter account, we see Sherry (Chris- tine Evangelista, "The Arrange- ment") and Dwight (Austin Amelio, "Mercy Black," 2019), both crossover characters from "The Walking Dead." Could this mean a reunion? The tweet is captioned, "Is Sherry how Dwight remembers her?" We know Dwight went through a lot of personal growth in Season 5 and has al- ready reunited with Alicia (Al- ycia Debnam-Carey, "The 100") and Charlie (Alexa Ni- senson, "Summer Camp Is- land"). What could this mean for the changes that Sherry has gone through? The final episode of last sea- son was already packed with drama. John Dorie (Garret Dil- lahunt, "12 Years a Slave," 2013) and June (Jenna Elfman, "Friends with Benefits," 2011) are finally married, Grace (Karen David, "Galavant") is pregnant, Virginia (Colby Minifie, "The Boys") shoots Morgan Jones (Lennie James, "Sahara," 2005) and leaves him for the Walkers, and Dwight is hallucinating Sherry's voice.
