A teaser trailer for the upcoming episodes of Fear the Walking Dead introduces the return of a familiar character from the long-running spinoff. In the previous episode, Morgan and Mo decided to leave the main group and return to Alexandria in hopes of finding Rick Grimes. As a result, Madison is once again the central focus of Fear the Walking Dead for its final six episodes. The Walking Dead has now released a teaser trailer for the second part of season 8, showcasing the comeback of an original character from the series.
Victor Strand's survival is evident in the trailer, defying the seven-year gap between season 7 and season 8. Notably, he seems to have abandoned his villainous tendencies and is now extending his assistance to Madison.
What To Expect From Fear The Walking Dead's Final Episodes
Strand's comeback in season 8 of Fear the Walking Dead might lead to conflicts with characters like June and Daniel, who are well aware of Strand's previous role as an antagonist in season 7. However, his return will ultimately bring about a long-awaited reunion with Madison, enabling them to continue their friendship from where they left off in season 4. Although it remains uncertain if the rest of Madison's group will be able to trust him, her history with Strand suggests that she may be capable of turning him into an ally once again.
The conclusion of Fear the Walking Dead season 8, episode 6 offered a tantalizing glimpse of another familiar face making a return. In a post-credits scene, an individual is heard listening to Madison discussing PADRE over a radio, sending out a message to parents whose children were taken by the group to reunite with them. This person possesses several significant items from the series, including the hammer that Madison used to kill Troy Otto in season 3, as well as Alicia's prosthetic arm. Given the presence of the hammer, it appears likely that Troy, who somehow survived Madison's attack and the dam collapsing, is the mysterious final villain in Fear the Walking Dead.
With the potential for multiple characters to make a comeback in Fear the Walking Dead season 8, the upcoming six episodes appear to be a tribute to the show's original cast. While some characters, such as Alicia, may be permanently gone, there is a possibility that Madison, Strand, Daniel, and even Troy and Luciana could return in the final stretch of episodes. Now that Strand is making a comeback, the last six episodes of Fear the Walking Dead season 8 seem poised to provide one last journey for the numerous original characters that the spinoff introduced to The Walking Dead universe.
