Fear the Walking Dead is currently airing its seventh season and has been renewed for an eighth. Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, and Ruben Blades are three actors who have been with the series since the beginning. This season Kim Dickens will make her return, another actor present in season 1 but appeared to have died in the fourth season. Lennie James, who plays Morgan crossed over from the flagship series in Fear TWD’s fourth season. Is Morgan leaving the series?
The current storyline finds the survivors battling the undead and dealing with the aftermath of fallout from a nuclear bomb. This has created much conflict as everyone searches for a safe place to live.
One character who always lands on his feet is Victor Strand, and a nuclear bomb is no match for him. He has created a utopia of sorts in a high-rise building known as the Tower. This Tower is something that Alicia and her group have their sights on, and she has declared war on Strand, vowing to take it from him.
