If Merriam-Webster doesn’t have a photo of Morgan Jones in its dictionary entry for the term “world-weary,” then they’re just plain doing it wrong. The superstar survivor has lasted the run of TV’s The Walking Dead and continues his story in Fear the Walking Dead. Just a few episodes of the latter show remain until its final mid-season finale drops — which means damn near anything can happen in this week’s episode (#804), when Morgan (as played by the always compelling Lennie James) returns to the place where both his journey and The Walking Dead saga began: King County. Check out a sneak peek below, then catch the episode on AMC this Sunday night (June 4th) at 9/8c on AMC and AMC+…
Official Synopsis
The eighth season of Fear begins after the conclusion of Season 7, when Morgan’s (Lennie James) and Madison’s (Kim Dickens) hopes to rescue Mo from PADRE did not go as planned. Now, Morgan, Madison and the others they brought to the island are living under PADRE’s cynical rule. With our characters demoralized and dejected, the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place — Morgan’s daughter, Mo. Fear the Walking Dead stars James, Dickens, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Austin Amelio, Christine Evangelista, Karen David, Jenna Elfman and Rubén Blades. It is executive produced by Gimple, Showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, Michael Satrazemis and David Alpert and is produced by AMC Studios.”
