Fear the Walking Dead has concluded after eight seasons. Showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian B. Goldberg discuss the series finale, revealing that they knew season 8 would be the final season towards the end of season 7. They always planned for Madison and Alicia to be reunited, but Alycia Debnam-Carey's reduced role meant that Alicia's absence for most of the season was necessary. The finale throws some surprises but ultimately provides a satisfying conclusion and leaves room for future character stories.
