If you think the apocalypse was challenging up to this point for Madison (Kim Dickens), son & daughter Nick (Frank Dillane) and Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) respectively, Daniel (Rubén Blades) and Victor (Colman Domingo) then by the looks of the latest trailer for Fear the Walking Dead season 3 part 2, you haven’t seen anything yet.
With tensions on the rise between the conspiracy theorist survivalists of The Broke Jaw Ranch (plus the Clarks) and the Nation, led by Walker (Michael Greyeyes), and a leadership vacuum caused by Jeremiah’s (Dayton Callie) untimely death – thank you Nick! Or not thank you or … lordy what a dilemma – everyone has less to fear from the undead than they do from each other.
Same old story then – humanity is its own worst enemy.
You can see Madison’s deal with Walker as canny political manuveuring or a Sword of Damicles hanging over the head of the Ranchers.
Either way, it’s going to get messy and chaotic and frankly, if I was a walker, I’d grab me some meaty popcorn, sit back and watch the carnage that will undoubtedly ensue, followed by, yes, a tasty dinner of newly dead human.
Things can only get worse before they get better until, of course, they get worse again … and then worse again … well, you see the pattern.
It ain’t gonna be pretty whatever goes down.
Fear the Walking Dead season 3 returns Sunday 10 September in USA and Monday 11 September in Australia.
