Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462

***"Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462"*** is a series of webisodes which is being released online and during the commercial breaks of *TWD* Season 6. It depicts passengers of an Phoenix bound flight being confronted by one of the dead. At least one of the surviving characters from this incident will then join the cast of *Fear the Walking Dead* for the second season.

The first episode aired during two of the commercial breaks of the Season 1 finale of *Fear*; and then again during the first episode of Season 6 *TWD*. There are 16, very short, episodes in total. They are being aired, one per each *TWD* episode, during the commercial breaks of season 6 *TWD*. (Because the first episode was also shown during the season 1 finale of *Fear*, this meant it was shown two weeks running.
