Fear the Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season (Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi)
The follow-up to the world’s most in-demand TV series, “The Walking Dead,” “Fear the Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season” is now available on Blu-ray and DVD from Lionsgate.
Teddy (John Glover) brought about his vision of “The End” when he detonated nuclear warheads across the Texas landscape, but it will be up to the survivors to decide what “The Beginning” will look like. In this world devoid of light and hope, where the outside air is just as deadly as the walkers they face, the ones who lived will find out who they really are and what they’re really made of. Some will rise to the occasion. Others will find a new purpose. Still, others will redefine themselves — even if it comes at a terrible cost to those they once considered family.
Three audio commentaries are included on the release: one on Episode 701 and one on Episode 716 with executive producers and co-showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, and one on Episode 703 with actress Jenna Elfman and writers Nick Bernardone and Jacob Pinion.
