Fear the Walking Dead – Karen David
The last we saw of David’s Grace in season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead, she and the others were gearing up for a trip on the water to locate a new place to live. Morgan (Lennie James) had taken their daughter Mo away to keep her safe but met with the returning character Madison (Kim Dickens), who works for the mysterious PADRE.
This organization is in the business of stealing children, a job that Madison was tasked with. Having never met Morgan, she took his child and turned her over to PADRE. In the final scene of season 7, Morgan and Madison are heading, via boat, to meet with the people at PADRE to try and get Mo back.
The eighth season began filming in August 2022 in Savannah, Georgia. This will significantly alter the landscape, and showrunners have promised to reinvent the series.
