The zombie apocalypse continues on AMC, as Fear the Walking Dead has been given a third season order, hot on the heels of the show’s recent return.

“What Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman have invented in Fear The Walking Dead is to be applauded,” Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios explained. “Watching Los Angeles crumble through the eyes of our characters and seeing each make decisions and try to figure out the rules of their new world – it’s fresh, eerie and compelling and we’re all in for the ride.”

A fresh series of 16 episodes will air next year.
