49 free Fear the Walking Dead trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Fear the Walking Dead started as a Los Angeles prequel about a blended family watching civilisation collapse, then rebooted itself in season four around Lennie James's Morgan Jones and a Texas baseball stadium. Its 2015 premiere drew 10.1 million viewers, a cable record, and it ran 113 episodes across eight seasons before signing off in November 2023. These 49 questions cover all of it: Madison, Travis, Nick and Alicia, Victor Strand and Daniel Salazar, the Otto family's ranch, the Vultures, the Pioneers, Teddy's cult and the nuclear submarine, PADRE and the bird code names, plus the production story: the working title Cobalt, Dave Erickson and the Chambliss-Goldberg handover, filming in Vancouver, Baja California, Austin and Savannah, the composers, the Flight 462 and Passage web series and the Dead Ahead lawsuit. Easy questions stick to the core cast; the hard tier asks about episode numbers, call signs and who directed what. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation that adds one more fact. Play it solo or print it for a Walking Dead watch party.
