In a series of official new photos from AMC for "The Walking Dead" spinoff "Fear the Walking Dead," stars Kim Dickens (Madison), Cliff Curtis (Travis), Alycia Debnam Carey (Alicia), Frank Dillane (Nick), Elizabeth Rodriguez (Liza) and Lorenzo James Henrie (Chris) get ready to flee. The photos seem to clue viewers in on the pervading sense of doom inherent to an impending zombie apocalypse.

Premiering August 23, "Fear the Walking Dead" was co-created by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson. The series stars Dickens, Curtis, Debnam-Carey, Rodriguez, Mercedes Mason, Ruben Blades and more.
