The series finale of Fear the Walking Dead did not feature any major character deaths, which is unusual for a show in The Walking Dead universe. Co-showrunner Andrew Chambliss explained that this decision was made because the surviving characters' arcs had been planned for a long time and it was important to show their potential for future growth. This lack of death in the finale follows the precedent set by The Walking Dead, where some long-running characters were allowed to survive and continue their stories in spinoff shows.
