What do you do when the entire world is crumbling around you? For the survivors in Fear the Walking Dead, the answer is simple: scour the wasteland for more people and help make the world a little bit better. The undertaking is pretty ambitious, especially because of the constant threat of brain-eating zombies. Morgan Jones heads the pack of survivors, with a philosophy rooted in basic humanism and community.

It’s easier said than done. In season 5, the group’s trust will be tested as they find themselves in uncharted territory, where they must face their pasts and fears. If they can come out the other end unscathed, they’ll be forever changed, and perhaps even find an entirely new way to survive. 

Here’s how to watch Fear the Walking Dead online.

It also comes with a few Spanish-language channels like Telemundo and NBC Universo. AMC, BBC America, and IFC are there too, so you won’t miss out on all that prestige TV.
