Fear the Walking Dead executive producer and series finale director Michael E. Satrazemis has promised a "karmically correct" ending for the show. The final episodes of season 8 will focus on Madison reclaiming her role as the protagonist and turning PADRE into a sanctuary for survivors. The returning antagonist Troy will seek revenge and bring an army of Walkers with him. Satrazemis suggests that the show's ending will tie up loose ends and provide a satisfying conclusion reflecting the earlier seasons of Fear the Walking Dead.
