== Official synopsis ==
{{Quote
|Living in the same universe as The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead is a gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counselor Madison Clark and English teacher Travis Manawa have managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families while dealing with resentful, escapist, and strung out children takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution, a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, and our dysfunctional family must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.

===Initial Casting Call===
This is a cast list based on the original and subsequent casting calls for the pilot. TWD casting calls have used temporary names in the past and this is no exception. Of the names listed here only Nick, Art, Tobias and Matt made it through to the actual series.

*Cody Cabrera. Sean’s whip-smart and rebellious teenage son. Known as the angriest kid in town.

==Trivia==
Mostly from pre-Season 1 press.
*Robert Kirkman has said that the zombie virus theory will not be answered in this series.<ref>[http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/fear-walking-dead-zombie-virus-theory-will-not-be-answered-series-robert-kirkman-confirms-1497319 Zombie virus theory will not be answered in FTWD]- www.ibtimes.co.uk ''(April 20, 2015)''</ref>
*Robert Kirkman remarked that the series is "technically not a spin-off," because it doesn't have any characters in common with the original series.<ref>[http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2014/03/walking-dead-spin-official-lands-showrunner/ Spin-off lands a showrunner] - www.uproxx.com ''(Mar 28, 2014)''</ref>
*The Companion Series will be unrelated to the Comic Series.<ref>[http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/04/09/the-walking-dead-spin-off-tv-series-is-unrelated-to-comics-according-to-robert-kirkman/ The Walking Dead Spin-Off TV Series Is Unrelated To Comics According To Robert Kirkman], ''comicbook.com'', (April 9, 2014). </ref>
*The companion series is partially a prequel to the television series, it will take place during the start of the zombie apocalypse and show attempts to control it. The origins, though not the cause are explored in the series. A Deadline article claimed that an early script for the Pilot "features one character who briefly appeared during a key season one episode." <ref name=":1" /> but this failed to materialise.
*The series revolves around a male divorced teacher and a female guidance counsellor. <ref>http://deadline.com/2014/12/frank-dillane-alicia-debnam-carey-cast-the-walking-dead-companion-series-spinoff-1201305129/</ref>
