AMC has released the official key art for the upcoming season of Fear the Walking Dead.
The art shows the face of a heavily-bearded Morgan Jones with ominously red eyes and with the words “The Past is Dead” emblazoned on the image.
Lennie James, who plays Morgan, shared this statement about the sixth season and his role in it:
“The cast and crew of Fear the Walking Dead are very excited to share this piece of key art with our amazing fans…
Last season left Morgan in a very perilous situation. We cannot wait for you to discover what happens next to him and the rest of the group in our new season this fall. A truly transformative season that will see all of the gang challenged in ways they haven’t ever been before. Some will rise. Some will fall. None will remain the same. The Past Is Dead! Tune in October 11 for the next chapter!”
As previously reported, during the Fear the Walking Dead Comic-con@Home panel it was announced that the show would be taking the October slot usually reserved for the premiere of The Walking Dead. The new season will experiment with style by including multiple time jumps and using an anthology structure.
Here is the official synopsis of the season:
“Season six of Fear the Walking Dead explores what has become of the unlikely family once united by a mission to help those in need. After being torn apart by Virginia (Colby Minifie) and her Pioneers, the group is now dispersed across her far-reaching settlements. Morgan’s (Lennie James) last message at the end of season five implored the group to “Just Live” and this season we’ll see what that means to each of them. Some will find the stability and opportunity within Virginia’s communities to be intriguing, some will sink into darkness, while others will fight back against what has been forced upon them. Life behind Virginia’s walls will test each and every one of them in different ways, forcing them to define who they are in this new world.”
Fear the Walking Dead season six will premiere on October 11 on AMC.
