Fear the Walking Dead is coming to an end.

AMC has announced the upcoming eighth season will be the show's swansong, with a first-look clip teasing Madison's escape plan from PADRE.

The final 12 episodes will pick up in the aftermath of Morgan and Madison being hijacked in their attempts to rescue Mo from the secret government location known as PADRE.

Morgan and Madison are forced to live under PADRE's tyrannical rule, yet they do not give up hope of a better life once they find Mo. Kim Dickens will reprise her role as Madison, after a guest appearance last season.

The news comes as The Walking Dead universe boss Scott M. Gimple has confirmed that Walking Dead spinoffs for Rick and Michonne, Daryl Dixon, and Maggie and Negan will all be coming soon to fill Fear the Walking Dead's gap.

"The Walking Dead Universe lives," Gimple said. "To conclude Fear the Walking Dead, we’re thrilled to be bringing you one of its most vibrant, inventive, exciting seasons ever, while breaking new ground with old favorites: Maggie and Negan in the madhouse of post-apocalyptic Manhattan with no one to depend on but each other…

"Daryl Dixon in France, a loner who cannot move through this new dangerous world alone, facing vicious enemies and never-seen-before threats of the undead.

"And Rick and Michonne, in a romantic saga of the dangerous road to each other, and the road they must find with each other, cornered by a new civilization and hordes of the dead."

Fear the Walking Dead returns for its eighth and final season on Sunday, May 14 at 9pm ET on AMC in the US, and will air on AMC on BT TV in the UK.
