Season 4 went through a major cast shakeup following the deaths of the characters Nick (Frank Dillane) and Madison (Kim Dickens). New faces were introduced – aside from Lennie James, Garret Dillahunt (John Dorie) and Maggie Grace (Althea), the season also saw Jenna Elfman (Naomi/June) in the episodes. Needless to say, they will be joined by Amelio in “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5
For “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5 premiere, sadly, this detail is not yet available. There is no announcement from AMC yet but there is a chance it will be out before the year ends since filming began in December 2018.
Meanwhile, fans are hoping that the airdate of “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5 is not going to be affected by AMC’s copyright cases. The network is currently dealing with a copyright claim by Mel Smith, a comic book author, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
AMC was accused by Smith of stealing the story idea for “Fear the Walking Dead” from her “Dead Ahead” book. The network filed for a motion to dismissed the case but the judge handling the case dismissed the motion thus the legal proceedings may continue and AMC will be put in a tight spot.
