AMC network has released a preview of the first three minutes of their Walking Dead spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead, which is set to premiere this Sunday.
In the first scene we see Frank Dillane's character, junkie Nick, wake up in a derelict setting. As he stumbles through the house, he searches for someone named Gloria. The tension grows when he stumbles onto a dead body and then finds "Gloria" feasting on another unlucky victim.
Although Fear the Walking Dead has a lot of similarities to The Walking Dead, the new series has been described as the prequel to the popular AMC horror series that is now heading into its sixth season.
It's set in LA at the beginning of the outbreak, when The Walking Dead's main character Rick Grimes is still in a coma in Georgia.
Fear the Walking Dead follows protagonist Travis, a teacher who gets involved with a guidance counsellor, Madison, who is also Nick's, the character featured in the pilot preview, mother.
The series premieres Sunday, August 23.
Watch the preview.
