What she comes to realize and the audience was already well aware of, we get to the penultimate episode and realize Troy was the one who compromised the ranch and his actions were indirectly about to place the dam in danger, it’s now time for him to go. She tries to offer some degree of charity and benevolence by freeing him. She’s a bit spun out by her son becoming her, effectively. That’s largely the reason why she doesn’t kill Troy in episode nine. There’s a passing of the baton, going from the midseason finale into the midseason premiere, where Nick took the gun and put down Jeremiah Otto. It’s ingrained in her based on her childhood and things she’s had to do when she was a kid. She starts the season with an attitude of violence and a willingness to do whatever it takes to protect her family.
It would be interesting to see what happens to Proctor John in the future.įundamentally, it’s about getting to a place where Madison returns to herself. We talked a lot in the room for the first couple of seasons about Cormac McCarthy and Blood Meridian, and I think Ray McKinnon’s character is very much our version of the Judge. The goal was, thematically, that this was going to be an exploration of violence this season. It was also important to tell a story about the rise of Alicia, and have her step out from her mom’s shadow and become her own person and achieve a level of independence, which I think Alicia the character did and Alycia the actor played beautifully.
What was crucial to me was to draw a line in the sand between Nick and Madison, specifically. In terms of your ending of Fear the Walking Dead and knowing where you wanted to take them in the grand scheme of things - where did you take them? When you think about the ideas you wanted to express in a theoretical seventh season, do you feel like your final run was able to touch on some of those thoughts? It’s time for them to take it and run with it. But I have not had any conversations with the guys about direction. I think it will probably be completely different. There are elements, even going back to the pilot, of the show that I would have seen arcing out until probably even season seven. When you’re so invested in a story, you have a pretty clear sense of the characters. It will be interesting to see what Scott, Andy and Ian do going into season four, and what’s hopefully a much longer run.Īnd just to be clear, even though you have ideas for season four, you don’t expect those ideas are necessarily where the show is going to go next? Have you discussed any of your thoughts with the new showrunners? It’s a little bit… it’s sad to say goodbye. There are a lot of things I’m curious about. I would love to see Ray McKinnon’s Proctor John as our big bad going into season four. There are some things we laid into these last few episodes that I would love to see play out. The irony is that I see season four more than I saw season three, and I had a pretty good sense of season three. Your run on Fear the Walking Dead is officially over.

With his final Fear the Walking Dead story in the books, THR spoke to Erickson for one last look back at the zombie apocalypse, a glimpse into what he would have dreamed up for the future, and his thoughts on the news that the series he’s departing will finally crossover with The Walking Dead proper in the near future. Ironically enough, even as he walks away from the Walking Dead universe, Erickson has clearer thoughts on where the show would have headed under his supervision than ever before - an emotional state that aligns with one of the finale’s subplots, as Madison imagines an alternate reality where she and her loved ones all live happily ever after on Jeremiah Otto’s (Dayton Callie) ranch, long enough at least to enjoy a Christmas feast.
