New ‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Promo Shows LA Going Dark!

Briefly: I’ve felt a little iffy about Fear The Walking Dead since the companion series was first revealed. Sure, the world wants as much The Walking Dead as it can get (you do know that there’s a comic book and incredible video game too, right?), but would this series simply be the same show in a different location, and without the survivors we already know and love?

Hell no. After having an opportunity to speak with the cast and producers of the series at San Diego Comic-Con (more on that in a few days), my qualms have disappeared, and I’m now simply excited to see where East Los Angeles, and the beginnings of the infection take this dysfunctional blended family.

Then, of course, the trailer came out, and solidified my excitement for this starkly different production.

Today, AMC debuted a creepy new teaser for the premiere episode, showing off a bustling Los Angeles quickly becoming dark and smoky.

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know if you’ll be watching on August 23rd!
