With the release of the recent Fear the Walking Dead webisode Dead in the Water, there has been a spike in interest regarding the other Walking Dead-related webisodes. These mini-series tell a brief offshoot tale in the universe generally centered around a main character or characters.
The Fear TWD spinoff webisode, Dead in the Water, tells the story of the crew aboard the USS Pennsylvania submarine first featured in season 6 of Fear TWD. This series, directed by Kenneth Requa, reprises Nick Stahl’s role of Riley, who would eventually become one of Teddy’s cult followers.
The series takes viewers back to the eve of the outbreak, where the crew will need to fight for survival against their crewmates, who begin to reanimate into the undead.
Dead in the Water is currently only available via AMC+, but according to writer Jacob Pinion, on May 8 will be released for those without an AMC+ subscription.
