Deadman walking: ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ teases major character death
for the changes that Sherry has gone through? The final episode of last season was already packedwith drama. John Dorie (Garret Dillahunt, “12Years a Slave,”2013) and June (Jenna Elfman,“Friends with Benefits,”2011) are finally married,Grace (Karen David, “Galavant”) is pregnant,Vir- ginia (ColbyMinifie,“The Boys”) shootsMorgan Jones (Lennie James,“Sahara,”2005) and leaves him for theWalkers, and Dwight is hallucinating Sherry’s voice. Now, the new trailer shows a glimpse of what’s to come in the next season (which completed filming, thankfully, before the COVID-19 quarantine), set to Morgan’s words from the finale: “If any of you are listening, if any of you can hear me,what we were doing out here, it wasn’t just about doing right.We fought for the future.Wemade the hard call for all of us. If you’re listen- ing tome, live.All of you, if you can hear me, just live.” It was a bittersweet ending for fans,who were left unsure as towhether he evenmade it out alive. The trailer has little audio aside from this, but ends with another radio call fromsomeone omi- nously asking about what hap- pened toMorgan. Immediately following is the image of a box, conveniently the size of a head, labeled“Morgan Jones.”We see one eye (presumablyMorgan’s) snap open, bright red. Morgan hasmade it through all of “TheWalking Dead”and “Fear theWalking Dead”to this point, but at the end of Season 5, it wasn’t looking too good for

Despite“TheWalking Dead” coming out first,“Fear theWalk- ing Dead” is actually the prequel. It follows a family in LosAngeles at the beginning of the zombie outbreak,whomust now forget their old lives and focus on survival.“TheWalking Dead” is based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman and artistTony Moore that began in 2003.“Fear theWalking Dead”continues in the same tradition as the comics and the original series, but this time takes place between Los Angeles,Mexico andTexas. Season 6 has already promised drama and evenmore crossovers. In a teaser posted to the show’s officialTwitter account,we see Sherry (Christine Evangelista, “TheArrangement”) and Dwight (AustinAmelio,“Mercy Black,” 2019), both crossover characters from“TheWalking Dead.”Could thismean a reunion?The tweet is captioned,“Is Sherry how Dwight remembers her?” We knowDwight went through a lot of personal growth in Sea- son 5 and has already reunited withAlicia (Alycia Debnam- Carey,“The 100”) and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson,“Summer Camp Island”).What could thismean

him. Based on the trailer,many fans are predicting that his end is near.The final clip of the trailer ends with his red eyes opening. Does thismean he’s nowa zom- bie? It’s hard to tell. The last seasonwas led, primarily, byMorgan.He has always been passionately com- mitted to finding and helping as many people as he can and help- ing the survivors tomake up for their wrongdoings in life. “These are characters who, whenwe found themat the beginning of the season,were struggling to overcome their past and all the things they regretted by looking outwards and help- ing people,”said showrunner
acters, such as Morgan, who finally admits to Luciana (Danay Garcia,“Prison Break”) that he “felt something” at the mall carousel (a major moment for such a stubborn character). Based onwhat we know, Season 6 is going to be nothing short of a violent, emotional roller-coaster fromstart to fin- ish. Chambliss also teased that “there’s going to be a tremen- dous battle to fight” in the up- coming season. You can catch theWalkers at the height of horror in the Season 6 premiere of “Fear of theWalk- ing Dead,”Sunday,Oct. 11, on AMC.
