In Erickson’s post-mortem with The Hollywood Reporter after the season three finale, the departing showrunner was specific about one thing, when asked, “Who would have lived through your version of the series finale?” It’s abundantly clear, as well, that Goldberg and Chambliss did not take Fear the Walking Dead into the direction that Erickson would have preferred. ![]() There were a few passing references to it, but the show never jumped back to show us what happened (or explain where Daniel Salazar or Proctor John (played by the phenomenal Ray McKinnon) ended up.

In fact, season four showrunners Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss almost completely ignored what Erickson had left them. It’s clearly not how he envisioned the show going forward, and for better or worse (depending upon each individual perspective), season four is not the show that Erickson set into motion. It’s hard to know exactly what Dave Erickson - the guy who ran Fear the Walking Dead through its first three seasons - might have thought of season four of the series. ![]()
