The cast of Fear the Walking Dead showed up at SXSW on Saturday night, enjoying a break from filming season 5 to partake in the festivities.
Austin, Texas is the home of many exciting and wonderful things, and it just so happens to be the home base for Fear the Walking Dead as well as SXSW. The cast turned out on Saturday night to enjoy the festivities, and from the look of their social media accounts it looks like they had a lot of fun.
Cast members in attendance at SXSW included Alycia Debnam-Carey, Danay Garcia, Lennie James, Maggie Grace, Jenna Elfman, and newly promoted Alexa Nisenson, as well as newcomers to the cast Karen David and The Walking Dead alum Austin Amelio.
One of the first stops was to the Twitter TV tent, where the group had some fun before moving on to other hot spots:

Austin Amelio came ready to play, though that paddle might not do much to a walker…

(Austin Amelio’s shirt was pretty cool, we have to admit)

Jenna Elfman shared a LOVELY photo with the cast and its newest member Karen David:
With the cast busy at work on season 5, it’s nice to see them out and about having a good time. It’s also fun seeing Karen David and Austin Amelio hanging out with the cast. Though we’re still a few months from the show’s return, we have to wonder how Grace and Dwight will fit into the new season.
The cast of Fear the Walking Dead will be in attendance at WonderCon in Anaheim on March 31 for a panel presentation (and hopefully some footage from season 5). The season 5 synopsis is now available, and AMC has indicated that Fear will return this summer.
