There are no more friendly skies in the world of The Walking Dead! The previously announced Fear The Walking Dead web series has been given an official premiere date and a title.
Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462 takes place on a commercial airplane as they slowly realize that one of their fellow travelers is “infected” with the zombie virus that will endanger the lives of everyone on board. Each installment of the 16 episode Flight 462 will be about one minute long and it will air on AMC alongside every episode of The Walking Dead Season 6.
However, fans will get a chance to watch the episodes of Flight 462 on the web before their AMC premiere. The first episode of Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462 will launch on AMC.com on Sunday, October 4 before making its network debut during the sixth season premiere of The Walking Dead on Sunday, October 11.

While previous Walking Dead web series have dealt with one-off characters, Flight 462 will introduce a character who makes it off of the plane alive before becoming series regular on Fear The Walking Dead Season 2. Naturally, AMC hasn’t revealed who the survivor is, but presumably they appear somewhere in the first photo (posted above) from Flight 462.
“Flight 462 is a great extension of the world of Fear and will engage fans across multiple platforms with another riveting story set at the start of the fall of civilization,” said AMC President Joel Stillerman. “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Dave Erickson and David Wiener on another piece of original content. Watching how they’ll bring one of these new characters to the second season of Fear will be really exciting for viewers to follow.”
The season finale of Fear The Walking Dead will air this Sunday, October 4 on AMC.
