(Watch) Walking Dead Spinoff Debuts First Footage

AMC used Sunday’s season finales of The Walking Dead to reveal the first look at the spin-off of the flagship zombie drama, Fear The Walking Dead.

The new series, called Fear The Walking Dead, is set to debut late summer and is set in Los Angeles and stars Cliff Curtis as Sean Cabrera, a teacher who shares a son with his ex-wife. Sons of Anarchy‘s Kim Dickens co-stars as Nancy, a guidance counselor who works at the school with Sean and is seeing him romantically.

Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) co-stars as Nancy’s son Nick, who has battled a drug problem. And Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Woods) is will play Nancy’s ambitious daughter, Ashley, who is the polar opposite of Nick and dreams of leaving L.A. for Berkeley when the apocalypse strikes.

Fear The Walking Dead stands alone from the flagship and has been described as starting out as a prequel at the dawn of the apocalypse before catching up with the original series, based on Robert Kirkman’s long-running comics. The short teaser confirms that the series does indeed start at the onset of the flu-like outbreak.

FWTD will debut in the summer with a six-episode freshman season that will lead into the already announced sixth season of TWD. Season two of FTWD has already been greenlit for 2016. Check out the footage, below, and stay tuned to THR for more Walking Dead finale coverage.
