I don't know but I'm glad they changed the title to that. Can't wait myself.

 

I can find nothing about the premier date..just late summer, 2015.
I did find some articles with some character info and pasted them here. Sorry if this has been posted/discussed on another thread somewhere.


The main plot for Fear The Walking Dead takes place sometime near the dawn of the apocalyptic zombie outbreak. The main characters of this series are a male divorced teacher, a female guidance counselor and her son and daughter. The actors and actresses for this series is as follows:
– Cliff Curtis plays the role of Sean Cabrera, the male divorced teacher. He’s described as a good man who’s just trying to do right by everyone in his life. He co-parents his son with his ex-wife, Andrea
– Kim Dickens plays the role of Nancy Tomkins, the female guidance counselor who works as the same school as Sean Cabrera. Nancy is romantically connected to Cabrera as well
– Frank Dillane plays the role of Nick Tomkins, who is Nancy Tomkins’ son. Nick Tomkins has the tough task of dealing with a severe drug problem
– Alycia Debnam-Carey plays the role of Nancy’s daughter Ashley. Ashley is described as the better half of Nancy’s children, since she has dreams of attending The University of California, Berkeley and leaving Los Angeles behind

The location of this show is set in Los Angeles, California. It will feature a completely original storyline that has no ties to the main comic book series, but it does take place in the same universe as the main television series.

...other characters being planned for Fear The Walking Dead:

- Cody: Sean’s son, who resents his father for splitting from his mother; he is described as the angriest kid in town
– Andrea: Sean’s ex-wife, who moved with Cody to the outskirts of L.A.; she is best described as a flower child
– Matt: Ashley’s jock boyfriend
– Art: The principal at the school where both Sean and Nancy work, who has concerns about the bizarre outbreak featured on the local news
– Tobias: A wise-beyond-his-years senior at the school who believes the outbreak is Doomsday
– Casper: Nick’s drug-dealing best friend​

 

Cody's character description sounds so cringy imo

 

I wonder if Andrea is a human rights lawyer

 

Kinda weird that they would recycle that name in the companion series. Maybe it's pronounced ONdrea...lol

 

I am currently reading 'World War Z', which is fabulous!, and can't help but feel that the hints re 'Fear the Walking Dead' point that it will be portraying the book scenarios much better than the film did. Any thoughts people? BTW, the movie sucked but the book rocks as does TWD.
