Here's some scoop on Fear the Walking Dead from this week's (Posted on 6/4/15) Ask Ausiello column.

Ausiello: Very carefully. “There are certain rules that have been set up and established in the first show that we can’t break from,” concedes the spinoff’s showrunner Dave Erickson. “We also need to make sure that we’re not stepping on each other’s story.” Luckily, the EP is “far ahead in” Robert Kirkman’s comic and, as a result, “can hopefully” steer clear of repetitive plots. It also helps that several of the offshoot’s EPs — Kirkman included — also work on Walking Dead: Original Flavor. “There are a lot of people who know this world really well,” Erickson points out. “So even if I were to miss something, [others] would jump on me in the first 30 seconds of the script going out.”
