Fear the Walking Dead season 8 episode 1 release date

Fear the Walking Dead began airing in 2015, and by the end of 2023, the series will conclude its story. The eighth and final season will see the survivors move to a new location, yet again, to begin what they hoped was a better life. But the trailer for the upcoming season reveals that things at PADRE are not what they expected.

AMC will premiere season 8, episode 1, “Remember What They Took From You,” on May 14, 2023, at 9 p.m. ET. Subscribers to AMC+ can watch this episode on Thursday, May 11. This episode was written by Andrew Chambliss & Ian Goldberg and directed by Michael Satrazemis. Chambliss & Goldberg took over as showrunners in season 4 and will continue to finish out the series.

The synopsis for this episode reads:

"After going undercover at PADRE, Morgan, and Madison find themselves back at odds trying to do what’s best for Mo while struggling to accept their new lives under the watchful eye of PADRE."

Fear the Walking Dead season 8 premiere

In the season 7 finale, fan-favorite Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) returned and she encounters Morgan Jones (Lennie James). Madison was working as a collector for the organization known as PADRE, discovered to be in the business of kidnapping children for a yet-to-be-revealed reason. Morgan’s daughter Mo was one of these children. Madison eventually agrees to assist Morgan in rescuing Mo, and they were last seen in a boat that would take them to PADRE.

Season 8 of Fear the Walking Dead will experience a seven-year time jump that will see all of the survivors residing at PADRE but the conditions there are less than desirable.

The trailer also shows that Morgan will return to King County where he first met Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Fans are eager to see what this means for Morgan and his story.
