'Fear the Walking Dead' plans to take viewers into the very beginnings of the outbreak horrors, something that was left to our imagination in the original series.

There's been a lot of talks regarding if the spin-off show ever plans to catch up with the events of the current series, however in a recent with executive producer David Erickson at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills on Friday, we found out that 'Fear the Walking Dead' will be taking its time.

"By the end of season 1, we definitely know the world has changed, but we're not at the same place where Rick woke up," Erickson said. "There's still a window of time, we'll have some real estate left. Rick's coma was about 4 to 5 weeks. If you track our story, we probably go three weeks over the course of our first season. There is a time that may come that we catch up, and there may be a season where we do a major time cut. The thinking right now in season 1 and the writers' room for season 2 isn't about how do we intersect them how or catch up with the original show?" 

He also speaks a bit on the perspective of the show regarding the military response to the situation.

"When Rick exits the hospital, you see the presence of military and MASH units," he said. "We're never going to tell the story from a military perspective, but we will see a military presence and how first responders reacted and what they did to protect their own families." 

He concludes with explaining the title and how it all came about.

 "We wanted The Walking Dead in the title. But we didn't want The Walking Dead: Los Angeles. We're already using Fear as a shorthand. I think it speaks to what the characters are going through." 

'Fear the Walking Dead' plans to premiere Sunday August 23.
