Victor Strand is lifeless. That’s to not say we have seen the final of Colman Domingo’s crafty conman-turned-ultimate zombie apocalypse survivor on Fear the Walking Dead — however the villainous Victor who waged battle on his former pals Alicia Clark (Alycia Debnam-Carey) and Morgan Jones (Lennie James) in season 7 isn’t any extra. The final we noticed him, Alicia rescued Strand from his destroyed dictator tower, giving him a second probability as the group escaped irradiated Texas by life raft to hitch Morgan — and unbeknownst to them, Victor’s previous BFF and Alicia’s still-alive mom Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) — on the island of P.A.D.R.E.
When Fear picks again up for its eighth and ultimate season, seven years could have handed since Morgan and Madison set sail for P.A.D.R.E. — and quite a bit has modified since we final noticed the survivors. In season 8, Strand “may have the most drastic reinvention of any character on the show when we meet him,” co-showrunner Ian Goldberg revealed throughout the present’s WonderCon panel, including to “expect a big change from what we’ve seen before.”
What we have seen earlier than was a Strand that sacrificed Sanjay (Satya Nikhil Polisetti), tried to sacrifice Morgan aboard a nuclear submarine, and who sacrificed his relationship with Alicia when he compelled her pal Will (Gus Halper) off the roof of his tower. (*8*) Goldberg stated. In this ultimate season, the query is “whether he can redeem himself for everything that he did.”
Strand will return with a brand new look to match his drastically modified demeanor, however what that seems to be like stays to be seen. Domingo’s presence this season is being saved below wraps: the character was notably absent from Fear‘s full-length trailer revealed throughout WonderCon.
AMC describes season 8: “The eighth season begins after the conclusion of Season 7, when Morgan’s and Madison’s hopes to rescue Mo from P.A.D.R.E. did not go as planned. Now, Morgan, Madison and the others they brought to the island are living under P.A.D.R.E.’s cynical rule. With our characters demoralized and dejected, the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place — Morgan’s daughter, Mo.” Lennie James, Kim Dickens, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Austin Amelio, Christine Evangelista, Karen David, Jenna Elfman and Rubén Blades star.
The first a part of Fear the Walking Dead‘s two-part ultimate season premieres Sunday, May 14th, on AMC and AMC+.
