Fear The Walking Dead’s Final Opening Title Sequence Honors The Show’s Past 8 Years

With Fear the Walking Dead finally coming to an end after eight seasons, the show decided to pay homage to all of its characters with one last extra special title card. Fear the Walking Dead recently premiered its series finale after running for a total of eight seasons. The show, which began in 2015, follows a group of survivors in Georgia during The Walking Dead’s zombie apocalypse. In the final episode, the series’ protagonist, Madison, goes head-to-head with her enemy Troy, intent on protecting PADRE from his zombie army.

The final episode of Fear the Walking Dead was notable for many reasons. First and foremost, the series had quite a long run, with eight seasons and about 16 episodes per season, therefore, its end feels somewhat monumental. Additionally, Fear the Walking Dead is the first ever spinoff series of The Walking Dead. Though the franchise has expanded quite a bit in the last year or two, with The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Fear the Walking Dead was the series that started it all. In this way, the end of Fear the Walking Dead is sort of like the end of an era.

Fear The Walking Dead’s Finale Changes The Show’s Opening Title Sequence

Another aspect of Fear the Walking Dead’s finale that made it special was the title card. During a typical episode of Fear the Walking Dead, the sequence that introduces the show usually includes the silhouette of the character that the episode will focus on. But when it came to the final episode, the show did not just show one character, but instead included the entire Fear the Walking Dead cast on the title card. This signified the importance of this final episode, and paid homage to all the characters that got the show to where it was, even when the final episode had a major focus on Madison and Troy.

Furthermore, what makes this last title card so special is the nostalgia factor it brings. Though Fear the Walking Dead was its own spinoff of The Walking Dead, the two shows were very much linked. There were many crossover episodes and characters that transitioned from one show to the other. In this way, Fear the Walking Dead’s title card is a reminder of these long-running and beloved characters. It puts into perspective how much these characters, and as a result, audiences have gone through over eight seasons. The title card definitely insinuates the end of this special The Walking Dead era.

The silhouettes are also organized in a way that shows their importance and their relation to others. All in all, each shadow has a specific person attached to it, and therefore, a deeper meaning that makes Fear the Walking Dead’s ending extra special.
