Fear the Walking Dead is a spin-off prequel to the hit series The Walking Dead, and Season 4, which aired in 2017, marks a significant turning point in the series. This season introduced new characters, major shifts in the storyline, and a time jump, bringing fresh energy and dynamics to the show. It continues to explore the brutal, post-apocalyptic world where survival is a constant battle against the undead, but it also delves deeper into the characters’ moral choices and the psychological toll of living in such a world.

Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead picks up after the traumatic events of Season 3, with the group of survivors now scattered and facing new challenges. The season introduces a pivotal shift in narrative structure, with the focus now split between the remaining characters and the arrival of new ones.

One of the most significant changes is the introduction of The Walking Dead’s crossover character, Morgan Jones (Lennie James), who had previously been a central figure in The Walking Dead series. Morgan’s appearance in Season 4 brings a new sense of continuity between the two shows. Having experienced immense loss and trauma in The Walking Dead, Morgan is now on a journey of self-discovery, trying to find peace while dealing with his violent past. His arrival is one of the central plot points of the season, as he becomes an integral part of the survivor group in Fear the Walking Dead.
