The latest trailer/teaser for "Fear the Walking Dead" casts the entire city of Los Angeles in the role of the titular undead. As its lights die out, block by block and building by building, the Southern California metropolis finds itself reborn as fires take the place of their electronic counterparts and LA lurches back to some semblance of life.

Premiering August 23 on AMC, "Fear the Walking Dead" stars Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Mercedes Mason and Ruben Blades. The companion series tells the story of the zombie apocalypse from a different perspective from "The Walking Dead." The show, described as a "family drama," has a two season order.
