You never know who you might see again in the post-apocalypse, and that can be both a good and a bad thing (depending on what side of the gun you're on). Featuring the return of long-lost familiar faces and the arrival of enigmatic new ones, the official trailer for Fear The Walking Dead Season 5 debuted at WonderCon and has now been released online for all to enjoy ahead of the show's return on June 2nd:

Press Release: AMC released today from WonderCon in Anaheim, CA the Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 trailer. As announced yesterday, the season will launch on Sunday, June 2 at 9:00pm ET/8:00pm CT and 10:00pm ET/9:00pm CT. Today’s WonderCon panel features series stars Lennie James, Colman Domingo, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Danay Garcia, Garret Dillahunt, Maggie Grace, Jenna Elfman, Alexa Nisenson, new crossover character Austin Amelio, along with surprise guest and returning cast member Ruben Blades and executive producers and showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, executive producer Scott M. Gimple and director Michael Satrazemis.

In Fear the Walking Dead Season 5, the group’s mission is clear: locate survivors and help make what’s left of the world a slightly better place. With dogged determination, Morgan Jones (James) leads the group with a philosophy rooted in benevolence, community and hope. Each character believes that helping others will allow them to make up for the wrongs of their pasts. But trust won't be easily earned. Their mission of helping others will be put to the ultimate test when our group finds themselves in unchartered territory, one which will force them to face not just their pasts but also their fears. It is only through facing those fears that the group will discover an entirely new way to live, one that will leave them forever changed.

Produced by AMC Studios, Fear the Walking Dead is the #4 drama on cable among adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 in Nielson live+3 ratings. The series is executive produced by Scott M. Gimple, showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, as well as Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Gale Anne Hurd and Greg Nicotero.
