‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Debuts First Trailer

The quasi-prequel series to “The Walking Dead” is set to hit AMC on August 23rd and while it made it’s mark at San Diego Comic Con today it also saw fit to release its trailer to the masses via the internet.

“Fear the Walking Dead” is set before “The Walking Dead” during a time when the humans still outnumbered the undead.  The show will chronicle the early days of the outbreak and give us a glimpse at how we lost control of everything.  The series will be set in Southern California (keep an eye out for the kid representing Pomona) and will follow a family as they try and escape the hellish landscape that Los Angeles has turned into.

Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.  Personally, I’m interested in seeing how this series will play out and how far it can go with the prequel premise.  The trailer looks intriguing, but I’ll have to wait till August to see if they can differentiate themselves enough from the core series to justify its existence.
