There is aCabin Feverremake in theaters and available on VOD as we speak. But that reboot isn’t the only thing apingEli Roth’s cherished horror classic. The new poster forFear the Walking Deadblatantly rips off the originalCabin Feverposter. Only it’s moved from the deep, dark woods to the high seas, giving us clouds instead of trees, menacing in the shape of a skull.
Fear the Walking Deadis set to return with all new episode in just a few weeks, whenSeason 2kicks off April 10. And this year’s tagline is ‘No Safe Harbor’. The premiere episode will pick right back up where we left off, with Madison (Kim Dickens), Travis (Cliff Curtis) and their extended family taking temporary shelter in Strand’s gated estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With Los Angeles in the midst of a zombie meltdown, the El Sereno survivors are ready to set sail on Starnd’s yacht Abigail, which is moored offshore.
The previoustrailersshowed Madison (Kim Dickens) running on the beach carrying supplies, which could indicate that she’s actually trying to escape from the massive yacht. We also get to see a number of zombies emerging from the sea, along with a group of waterlogged walkers, which likely means their swimming skills aren’t so good. This season will also introduce new cast members such asDougray Scott, Daniel Zovatto, Arturo del Puerto and Veronica Diaz.
Fear the Walking Deadwill air its second season of 15 episodes in two parts, beginning with the first of seven episodes on Sunday, April 10th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
