AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead has been officially renewed for a third season! This news comes less than a week after the Season 2 premiere posted great ratings that led the night. “What Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman have invented in Fear The Walking Dead is to be applauded. Watching Los Angeles crumble through the eyes of our characters and seeing each make decisions and try to figure out the rules of their new world…it’s fresh, eerie and compelling and we’re all in for the ride,” said Charlie Collier, President of AMC Studios.
He continued, “As Victor Strand observed, ‘The only way to survive a mad world is to embrace the madness.’ We thank the millions of fans for embracing this mad world and look forward to sailing far into the future.’”
The third season will be comprised of 16 episodes and is set to premiere sometime in 2017.
But… why? Didn’t the season premiere receive abysmally low ratings?
Is 8.8 million abysmally low?
Lol.

I don’t even care if this show lives or dies. I’m pretty indifferent to that myself. But this was a Walking Dead series low. Still good compared to others but this isn’t promising. Lowest TWD viewing rating and a sharp decline compared to season 1. Usually those views are supposed to increase from season to season, not the other way around.
So my original comment has been lost because I guess it didn’t get approved by “moderation” but the only thing it included were links. I haven’t seen a single report that said 8.8 million. Highest number I could find was 6.9 million.
And yes, while FTWD beat most everything else that was on, its ratings were THE lowest for any and TV Walking Dead anything. It was very poor by Walking Dead standards.
A few comments went to PENDING. Probably because of the inclusion of links. I released them. Hopefully that doesn’t confuse anyone.
Victory! Thank you.
This is supposed to be our cushion in between season breaks. This is what we’ll have left after TWD ends………….
Whoa, whoa, whoa. “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” We’re censored now? Or is that just me?
Or is it because I included links in that last comment? What’s the deal?
I think links can land you in a spam area. Once, I tried to post a link & after a few attempts, I was blocked out from commenting for a few days. But then, I just got blocked out the other day for no reason at all. The idea of moderation would be AWESOME if it means I can go back to exploring ALL of the site without fear of pre-aired spoilers. But if it means I gotta put a filter on my fucking language, I’m gonna feel pretty fucking displaced.
Just tested for filter… whew!
Fucking agreed, yo.
I’m glad it will be back! I like Fear!
A lot of Walking dead fans need to get behind this show and back all things Walking dead!
I didn’t like the idea from the start but it’s not bad enough for me to stop watching & so I still do. If it does get bad enough, I will stop, with no weight on my conscience. If the show becomes lame enough, it should stop. That’s just the way things go.
