The Walking Dead spin-off Fear the Walking Dead is about to begin its third season, and while it has developed a handful of interesting characters, like complicated recovering addict Nick Clark (Frank Dillane), inscrutable capitalist Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) and tortured good guy Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis), whose best wasn’t good enough, it lacks a charismatic leader like The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln).
After all of this, though, Fear the Walking Dead is not The Walking Dead, and people who are asking for a Rick Grimes may be asking the wrong question.
Rick Grimes is the center of The Walking Dead’s ensemble, and no matter how big the world gets, at its core the show is Rick’s story.
Fear the Walking Dead Season 3 premieres Sunday, June 4 at 9/8c on AMC.
