Apparently, the picture above is what everyday life looks like on "Fear the Walking Dead," as spoken about in an article on The Hollywood Reporter.

But the key difference between this show and its predecessor is that it is the event horizon of the zombie apocalypse. So that means that it is everyday life, with a side dish of zombies of course.

The series, which is loosely based off the comic books that were written by Robert Kirkman, is essentially a prequel series to both the show and the comic series. The idea was conceived by Kirkman and showrunner Dave Erickson. But it does not have any actual basis in the comic series since it was exclusively about "The Walking Dead," not the events that led up to it.

"They think they're [zombies] sick or on something," Erickson said at the SDCC 2015 panel. "We're exploring what would have happened during those four to five weeks [when Rick Grimes was in the coma]. How people adjusted to what came down. Tonally, it's incredibly different."

The poster and artwork essentially speaks volumes for what kind of tone the series is expected to take. The characters, as well as society in general, will be a bit naïve to the notion that it will take violence on their own parts to protect themselves against what is coming. This also means that if violence is finally resorted to, at what point will they realize that they must shoot them in the head?

"This is two to three weeks of the [four to five weeks] that Rick was in the coma," Erickson said. "We wouldn't end our finale and cut to Rick coming to."

Deadline reports that series will debut on AMC on Aug. 23 and run for six episodes. This is about the same length as "The Walking Dead" in Season 1. The only difference is that "Fear the Walking Dead" has already been given a Season 2 order, which came at the same time as the season one order. That can be partially attributed to the enormous success of "The Walking Dead" and its proven fan base.

Fans can expect Season 2 of "FTWD" to premiere earlier in 2016, likely around the beginning of summer. But there has been no official word on that yet, nor the Season 2 episode count.
