'Fear The Walking Dead' Season 6: AMC Consults Experts To Film Safely

KEY POINTS

Production of “Fear the Walking Dead” Season 6 may begin soon
AMC is consulting with experts to start filming safely
According to Lennie James, it is not possible for actors to follow social distancing while filming

It is only a matter of time before the filming of “Fear the Walking Dead” Season 6 begins again. Cast member Lennie James, who plays the role of Morgan Jones, gave the fans an update about the production recently and said that AMC is looking to start the work in a safe environment.

The production of the zombie spin-off series was stopped because of the coronavirus pandemic. In a recent interview with Digital Spy, James said that AMC is currently consulting with experts to find the best and the safest way to start filming again.

Filming the zombie series will be challenging if the cast and crew will have to follow the social distancing norms that are being practiced now. James pointed out that it is “not possible” to follow such guidelines while filming, especially for the actors facing the camera because the show has a “slightly different dynamic” that brings people in close proximity.

“I don’t think we could realistically go back to work until we have a reliable, quick test that gives a result as quickly as possible, but also one that's cheap enough that we could repeat it every day or every two days, depending on what the best health advice is,” James said.

The actors don’t yet have a “Fear the Walking Dead” Season 6 start of production date. James, however, added that the cast and crew are proceeding with the belief that they will return to the sets soon.

As far as the plot is concerned, the show ended in a cliff-hanger with Morgan facing a seemingly doomed situation. The trailers of the show have been teasing the character saying “Just Live,” and according to Screen Rant, this could be the main theme of the upcoming Season.

Expectations are high for “Fear the Walking Dead” Season 6. According to Screen Rant, among the things the fans would like to see on the show next is an episode that will be focussed on Morgan’s psyche, in which he will fight his inner demons. The episode can end with the character forgiving himself for what he has done in the past and moving on.
