AMC has released the first full-length trailer for “Fear the Walking Dead,” its spinoff series to ratings juggernaut “The Walking Dead.” Written by “Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman and showrunner Dave Erickson, the show is set in Los Angeles and serves as a prequel to the events of the “Walking Dead.”

The synopsis reads:

“Fear the Walking Dead” takes us back to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse – a time when the world was changing rapidly for reasons unknown, before anyone understood exactly what was happening, when life as everyone knew it was upended and altered in ways no one could have ever imagined.
