And also to establish the stakes of the season very quickly.
Here are five more teases for season 3:
1.
Meet the Militia
The good news?
Madison (Kim Dickens) will be reunited with son Nick (Frank Dillane).
They prepared for the apocalypse, says Erickson of the new adversaries.
They didnt expect the rise of the dead, but they definitely anticipated the fall of democracy.
But will Madison and Co. be welcome in Ottos new kingdom?
But get ready for a far more tactical Madison in season 3.
Shes always aspired to be the leader, says Erickson.
But she also made mistakes and she let herself be driven by her love for her son.
Shes very quick to realize that there are a lot of advantages to this place.
Look for Madison to set her sights particularly on one unseemly character as a way to gain control.
Were going to see Strand going back in the con man mode, teases Erickson.
The thing that Strand is best at is recognizing the current currency and knowing what can he exploit.
Hmmm… any guesses?
And the showrunner vows that we will see Daniel again soon enough.
Weve said publicly that he didnt die in the fire, says Erickson.
What Salazars mental state is whenever hedoesemerge is another question entirely.
Were going to go darker, says Erickson.
Its essentially a bottoming out for some of our characters.
One of those characters comes off as Madison.
But its going to be dark for a while before we see any semblance of light.
Fear the Walking Deadseason 3 premieres Sunday, June 4 at 9 p.m.
