‘Fear the Walking Dead’ has highest-rated first season in cable history

Fear the Walking Dead, AMC’s hit prequel to its The Walking Dead, ended on Sunday with the highest-rated first season in cable history. The series focused on the pre-apocalyptic world as people turned into zombies, and has been positively received. “To see this show stand alone, break through and set records as a unique piece of storytelling is very gratifying and a tribute to great creative talent,” AMC president Charlie Collier said.
