The premiere of the back half of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD’s season was at 1.62, down 0.26 from May’s midseason finale, and down a much bigger 1.46 from the season premiere in May. It was easily enough to top the night, though. It was followed by the return of TALKING DEAD at 0.57, up 0.19 from May (when it aired after the PREACHER premiere rather than directly after FEAR), but down 0.49 from FEAR premiere night. An attempt to gain some zombie fans for a sneak of the season premiere of HALT AND CATCH FIRE didn’t accomplish much at 0.15. An episode of GEEKING OUT followed at 0.10.
