WALKER AWAY
THE CAST AND CREW OF FEAR THE WALKING DEAD TAKE THEIR LAST APOCALYPTIC STEPS TOGETHER IN THE SERIES FINALE
WORDS: TARA BENNETT
June (Jenna Elfman) gets ready to sign off for good.
Danay Garcia as Luciana: see you later, chum.
IN THE 13-YEAR HISTORY OF AMC’S The Walking Dead universe, there have been many in the cast and crew who joined the franchise and then made it their career home. One of them is Michael E Satrazemis, who started in season one of The Walking Dead as a camera operator, then graduated to director of photography and director. Now he’s an executive producer and series director who worked closely with showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian B Goldberg on Fear The Walking Dead.
Satrazemis directed the season eight mid-season finale “All I See Is Red”, which featured Morgan (Lennie James) and his daughter, Mo/Wren (Zoey Merchant), exiting to seek Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in Alexandria. “We saw Morgan and Mo leave the show, and it’s very complete,” Satrazemis confirms. “And in the same scene almost, there’s the handover to Madison (Kim Dickens). What’s beautiful about the last season is it’s full circle. It feels very karmically correct.”
