AMC released the trailer for Season 7B of Fear the Walking Dead.
The trailer concludes with the return of Kim Dickens’ fan-favorite survivor Madison Clark, but it seems things aren’t going well for her.
Madison’s Fear the Walking Dead return was announced in December 2021, at which time it was also confirmed that the show had been renewed for an eighth season. “If there were a Mt. Deadmore, Kim Dickens’ face would be on it. Madison Clark is a foundational character to TWDU — heroic, complex, an everyperson who becomes a warrior and then a force of benevolence,” The Walking Dead Universe Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple said. “Kim Dickens’ raw talent, strength, and brilliance will electrify TWDU once more and we couldn’t be luckier to have her back.”
Dickens’ Madison Clark was a mainstay of Fear the Walking Dead in Seasons 1-4. She last appeared in the Season 4 midseason finale in 2018 where she presumably died after sacrificing herself to lead a horde of walkers away from her family. While Madison was seen in a flashback in the following episode, she has not appeared on the show since. The full capacity of her role in Season 7 remains unclear, but she will continue to appear in the series as a recurring character in Season 8.
“I definitely noticed an uptick in that awareness when I was out in the world,” Dickens told CBR in 2016 ahead of Season 2 while reflecting on the fan response to Madison. ” The fans for The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead are really great. I mean, they’re so passionate. We were doing Comic-Con [International in San Diego] for the first time, and that’s where we first saw the trailer, when we were doing the panel. We saw the trailer for the first time with the audience, so we got a little taste of that then. It’s kind of surprising to me how many people really love the show. It’s great to see. They will say things on the street, and that’s pretty exciting. On social media, of course, too. It’s been something. It’s nice to know people are watching the show and they like it.”
Fear the Walking Dead returns April 17 on AMC, with episodes airing one week early on AMC+ beginning April 24.
