AsFear the Walking Deadreturns for season three, our families will be brought together in the vibrant and violent region formerly known as the U.S.-Mexico border. International lines done away with following the world’s end, our characters must attempt to rebuild not only society, but family as well. Madison has reconnected with Travis, her apocalyptic partner, but Alicia has been fractured by her murder of Andres. Madison’s son is only a few miles from his mother, but Nick’s first action as a leader saw him and Luciana ambushed by anAmerican militia group, the couple escaped death, Luciana was shot, and Nick no longer feels immortal.
Fear the Walking Deadwill also welcome Emma Caulfield this season, with the actress portraying a mystery character that is believed to be a villain that has a big impact on both Nick and Luciana. It’s possible thatEmma Caulfield’s character is whoNick and Lucianaare both seen hiding from in a previously-released photo, but that hasn’t been confirmed. Recovering both emotionally and physically, Strand has his sights set on harnessing the new world’s currency, and Ofelia’s captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father.
