When do new episodes of Fear The Walking Dead Season 8 air on AMC? Release schedule explored

Fear the Walking Dead, the first Walking Dead spin-off in the vast and ever-growing universe, is all set to wrap up its tale with the eighth and final season, which will start releasing this week. Split into two parts, the new season of the popular series will end the story of the post-apocalyptic city and its residents with 12 episodes in its last run.

The first six-part half of Fear the Walking Dead will premiere on Sunday, May 14, 2023. It will be followed up by the next episode a week later, and so on. The ending of the show will coincide with the beginning of the new spin-off, The Walking Dead: Dead City.

The first half of Fear the Walking Dead will run till its mid-season finale on June 18, 2023 (and June 15, 2023, on AMC+).

AMC+ users will get to see the episodes much earlier than their AMC counterparts. This will also likely interest viewers in getting a premium connection to the service.
