‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Season 2 News: Production Begins in Mexico, Ocean Setting Featured
Fans of the "The Walking Dead" universe will be pleased to know that its companion series, "Fear the Walking Dead," is currently hard at work on Season 2 of the summer blockbuster.
Production for the season has already begun, and there are a few notable things that will bet taking place in next season's super-sized episodes.
According to IGN, the production has already started in Mexico on the Baja Peninsula. The series will be picking up where it left off last summer, with the survivors on the water, heading away from the zombies by sea.
Just like a modern day crime drama cliché, the protagonists are making a break for Mexico, following the trouble they are facing in the U.S.
Showrunner David Erickson was on hand to comment about the start of production, which took place in Vancouver last year with some principal photography around the show's setting in Los Angeles.
"We are thrilled to be starting production and even more thrilled to be shooting in Mexico," Erickson said. "Baja Studios has been home to some of the greatest ocean-set films in recent years and provides all the creative resources we need to begin this new chapter in the 'Fear' saga. We couldn't be happier."
Original comic creator Robert Kirkman already teased that Season 2 features "zombie-water action" at NYCC 2015.
He remarked that there would definitely be some action with zombies on the water, joking that there may even be some shots of the "Walking Dead Cruise," a real ship setting sail in January next year as a tie-in to the hit show.
He also said that he has always wanted to help clarify certain themes for his fans on "Fear the Walking Dead," which he could never work into "TWD" due to the necessity of continuity. He specifically referenced how a pizza boy like Glenn got his hands on a shotgun back in Season 1.
"How did we get to the point where this pizza boy could do that?" Kirkman said. "So on 'Fear,' we get to see how a regular person like Travis would react to these situations."
Season 2 of "Fear the Walking Dead" will air sometime in 2016.
