The latest trailer for the final season of Fear the Walking Dead has been released, and it’s got fans of the show buzzing. The trailer features some major connections to the original series, The Walking Dead. It appears that Fear the Walking Dead is ending on a high note, with a nod to its predecessor.
The trailer opens with a voiceover from actor Lennie James, reprising his role as Morgan Jones from The Walking Dead. Morgan, who has been a major character on both series, explains that “There is always something behind us…something ahead of us.” He goes on to proclaim that no one should be alone, and the message appears to be clear: the coming season will be a culmination of all that has come before.
In addition to Morgan’s voiceover, the trailer also includes shots of familiar locations and familiar faces. We get glimpses of characters like Alicia (played by Alycia Debnam-Carey), Madison (Kim Dickens), and Strand (Colman Domingo). It also shows the characters making their way back to some well-loved locations from the original series, such as the Hilltop compound.
The trailer ends with a stunning image of the two casts of both series standing side by side — past and present converging in a single moment. It’s a powerful way of telling fans that the past will be acknowledged and remembered throughout the series’ final season. The title of the trailer also points to a significant moment for the two series: “Fear the Walking Dead: Legacy.”
The exciting connections back to The Walking Dead make the final season of Fear the Walking Dead one of the most highly anticipated events of 2021. Fans of the original series will be tuning in to see the rich threads that link the two stories together and to witness their favorite characters’ final journeys.
