Fear the Walking Dead digital series puts zombies on a submarine

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

AMC has announced that they're developing a scripted digital series that will tie in with the sixth season of Fear the Walking Dead, and this digital series is based around a very cool concept: zombies on a submarine. Appropriately titled Dead in the Water, the series will tell the story of 

a submarine crew fighting for survival. Cut off from the surface world just as the apocalypse hits, the submarine becomes a nuclear-fueled walker-filled death trap with no way out.

Dead in the Water is being produced by The Content Room's AMCN Digital Originals, along with Fear the Walking Dead showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg. Walking Dead Universe chief content officer Scott M. Gimple is executive producing.

AMC's Kim Kelleher had this to say about the project: 

We have a long history of creating award-winning original digital content that engages our passionate audiences. As we develop and curate new, high-quality ad-supported environments, we are marrying our proven creative ability with expanded reach, opening up new distinct destinations for our fans and meaningful opportunities for our advertising partners, all sold through our AMCN Digital offering. Through the expanded distribution of exclusive originals, we are able to delight fans every step of their consumer journey and take our advertisers along for the ride."

Dead in the Water has been written by Jacob Pinion, who previously wrote the six episode digital series The Althea Tapes, which tied in with Fear the Walking Dead season 5.

I haven't watched all of the Walking Dead digital shows, but I was sold on this one as soon as I saw it deals with zombies on a submarine. I have to see this!
