Warning: spoilers ahead for Fear The Walking Dead season 8, episode 4.As Fear The Walking Dead finally falls in sync with its parent series, questions arise over exactly how close season 8's PADRE setting is to The Walking Dead's Alexandria Safe-Zone. Ever since premiering in 2015, Fear The Walking Dead has been separated from The Walking Dead not only by time, but by distance. In addition to being a prequel – more or less – Fear The Walking Dead situated itself on the West Coast, while The Walking Dead remained all the way east in Virginia, Georgia, and the surrounding areas. Whereas The Walking Dead remained relatively static during its 11-season run, however, Fear The Walking Dead gradually crept across the United States.
