Fear the Walking Dead has been confirmed for a third season by AMC

This is Dave Erickson's third and last season as showrunner. In Season 4 the showrunners will be Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg; Scott M. Gimple also joins the senior production team as an executive producer.

There are 16 episodes in Season 3; it started filming in late 2016 and aired on June 4th 2017.

The first half of the season starts and finishes with a double episode. It introduces the Otto Family and the Broke Jaw Ranch community.

“	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 has reconnected with Travis, her apocalyptic partner, but Alicia has been fractured by her murder of Andres. Madison's son mere miles from his mother, Nick’s first action as a leader saw Luciana ambushed by an American militia group — the couple escaped death, but Nick no longer feels immortal. Recovering both emotionally and physically, Strand has his sights set on harnessing the new world's currency, and Ofelia's captivity will test her ability to survive and see if she can muster the savagery of her father.	”
	— Season 3a, Official Synopsis

“	In the second half of season three, the Clarks and Ottos have secured an uneasy truce with the Nation. Former enemies must find a way to survive together. Tension mounts at Broke Jaw Ranch as their militia is decimated, resources are scarce and the Dead are encroaching. The Gonzalez Dam, a source of life, is a larger prize to the south. Strand has hit rock bottom and needs a partner to harness the world's only currency if he is going to be resurrected. Meanwhile, Daniel has become el soldado again and bides his time in service to Lola and the dam, but hasn't given up the ghost of Ofelia.	”

New cast members for season 3, from left to right: Daniel Sharman as Troy Otto, Lindsay Pulsipher as Charlene, Sam Underwood as Jake Otto, Hugo Armstrong as Vernon Trimbol, Dayton Callie as Jeremiah Otto and Emma Caulfield as Tracy Otto

“	There's gonna be a new prominent character, who we're gonna meet south of the border, who is going to have an impact on Nick and Luciana, and Strand most likely. She will become somebody, I think, who can rival any of the powerful characters we've had on the show or will have on the show. The idea is to create opposing forces on either side of the border and see what happens when they end up in conflict and what happens if our family is on opposite sides of the conflict.	”
	— Dave Erickson, on a new character in Season 3, that he seemed to imply would be Tracy Otto, played by Emma Caulfield.
