Fear the Walking Dead season 2

The season seven finale of AMC's The Walking Dead is drawing near, but more zombie drama will be following close on its heels, as the companion series Fear the Walking Dead will be returning to AMC airwaves this summer for its third season.

The core group of characters were scattered and shattered at the end of season two, and this newly released synopsis for season three lets us know what sort of situations they'll be in when we next see them: 

As "Fear the Walking Dead" returns for season three, our families will be brought together in the vibrant and violent ecotone of 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 (Kim Dickens) has reconnected with Travis (Cliff Curtis), her apocalyptic partner, but Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) has been fractured by her murder of Andres. Madison's son mere miles from his mother, Nick’s (Frank Dillane) first action as a leader saw Luciana (Danay Garcia) ambushed by an American militia group — the couple escaped death, but Nick no longer feels immortal. Recovering both emotionally and physically, Strand (Colman Domingo) has his sights set on harnessing the new world’s currency, and Ofelia's (Mercedes Mason) captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father

Fear the Walking Dead's third season will run for sixteen episodes. If you missed out on season two and want to get caught up before the show returns, it is currently available On Demand and will be moving over to Hulu as of March 21st.

I reviewed the second season here on Arrow in the Head, you can check out my reviews of each episode at THIS LINK. While I find Fear the Walking Dead to be a frustrating, problematic show, I will still be tuning in for season three.

Along with the synopsis, a trio of images from the new season have been released and can be seen right here:
