Fear the Walking Dead Flight 462 webisodes
By Renee Hansen
With the release of the most recent Fear the Walking Dead webisode, Dead in the Water, there has been a resurgence of interest in a previous webisode series, Fear the Walking Dead Flight 462. This series premiered on October 4, 2015, on AMC.com and was then featured during the airing of the sixth season of The Walking Dead.
This miniseries was directed by Michael McDonough and was used to promote the second season of Fear TWD and the sixth of The Walking Dead. Each less than a minute in length, the episodes would air during commercial breaks during TWD episodes throughout the sixth season.
Set on a commercial flight, the series followed the passengers of Flight 462 at the beginning of the outbreak.

The series watches the passengers as they don’t know what is happening with a sick passenger, and the cities below are experiencing power outages. They were aware of a “flu” outbreak, but none understood exactly what was going on. The plane is unable to land as there are no airports with power. It is a wild ride of a series with a short run time of 13:32 that is very well done.
In the end, there is a cool tie-in to Fear TWD.
