So while вЂThe Walking DeadвЂ™ may keep turning out walkers indefinitely, there is a chance we could see вЂFear the Walking DeadвЂ™ come to a close at some point. That being said, Erickson does have a bit of an end plan for the series. IвЂ™m sure he is hoping that this spin-off will at least match the fan base that the current hit has. The more we dig into it, the more weвЂ™ll findвЂ¦IвЂ™ve got some mile markers, which donвЂ™t take me that long as of yet, but I canвЂ™t really say because itвЂ™s an AMC question.вЂќ That is a good question and Erickson is taking the long view on this one: Of course with вЂThe Walking DeadвЂ™ having just wrapped its fifth season one might wonder what вЂњmuch later in the showвЂќ could actually mean. There are certain deaths that I have in my head that wouldnвЂ™t be coming until much later in the show, but until we get up and running and we see how everything is developing, itвЂ™s hard to say.вЂќ When youвЂ™re going to kill a major character, you need to have laid the track for it. I worked on Sons of Anarchy, and sometimes you have to kill your darlings. No one is safe, but I also have some specific arcs in my head that will probably protect certain people. Anybody can be eaten at any time it can happen to anyone. вЂњI donвЂ™t want to get too specific in terms of body count because I believe ultimately I would never set up and drop someone just for the purpose of setting up and dropping them. Here is exactly what Erickson had to say on the subject: The first teaser didnвЂ™t offer us too much in the way of introducing the new survivors but it does show us a world starting to go to Hell which weвЂ™ll see expanded upon in the first 6 episode run. That being said, the major deaths are partially mapped out and with a world that doesnвЂ™t yet realize the extent of the outbreak going on around them, certain arcs that will require characters some to be safe.

Much like the original series that has spawned this spin off prequel, no one will be safe. With the high body count of main characters in вЂ The Walking DeadвЂ, co-creator of вЂ Fear the Walking DeadвЂ Dave Erickson has opened up on how the show will handle deaths.
