'Fear the Walking Dead' Season 5: Get Caught Up on Seasons 1-4 Here [VIDEO]

With the season 5 return of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead now only a week away, fans have been making predictions about a season that looks action-oriented while still maintaining that "pro-active hope" the last season ended on. For example, that plane we see in the trailer and key art? We're obsessed with out theory that FTWD is going to be an unexpected "prologue" to the upcoming trilogy of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) films – at least until showrunners Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss show us otherwise.

But we'll save that for another day… until then? Our friends at Robert Kirkman's Skybound are offering those new to the FTWD universe – or if you just need a cram session on the previous four seasons – their rather "unique" look back at the series. In an easily digestible ten minutes, Woody Tondorf takes you on a tour of The Walking Dead spinoff series – just in time for the series return on Sunday, June 2, at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT:

A Look Ahead to 'Fear the Walking Dead' Season 5…

Heading into season 5 of Fear the Walking Dead, the group's mission is clear: locate survivors and help make what's left of the world a slightly better place. With dogged determination, Morgan Jones leads the group with a philosophy rooted in benevolence, community and hope. Each character believes that helping others will allow them to make up for the wrongs of their pasts.

But trust won't be easily earned. Their mission of helping others will be put to the ultimate test when our group finds themselves in unchartered territory, one which will force them to face not just their pasts but also their fears. It is only through facing those fears that the group will discover an entirely new way to live, one that will leave them forever changed.

Earlier this year, FTWD cast member Alexa Nisenson (ex-Vulture Charlie) was promoted from recurring to series regular for the upcoming season. Joining Nisenson are Karen David (Legacies, Galavant) as series regular Grace, The Walking Dead alum Austin Amelio reprising ex-Savior Dwight, and the returning Ruben Blades as Daniel Salazar. Bailey Gavulic (Prodigal, At The End Of The Day) will play young survivor Annie, who ends up crossing paths with our crew. Cooper Dodson's (American Horror Story, Preacher) Dylan and Ethan Suess' (Scorpion, Henry Danger) Max are two additional new survivors this season, though what their connection to Gavulic's Annie (if any) is still unclear. Matt Frewer (Max Headroom, The Stand, Watchmen) is also joining the cast this season, but in an undisclosed role.

Nisenson, David, Blades, Amelio, Gavulic, Dodson, Suess, and Frewer join Dwight's crossover comrade Morgan (Lennie James) on the upcoming season of The Walking Dead spin-off series, which has undergone some major changes over the past year. Jenna Elfman, Garret Dillahunt, Maggie Grace, Mo Collins, and Daryl Mitchell joined James on the series last season; with Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, and Danay Garcia the only original cast members heading into the fifth season. As we saw from the images above, Cooper Dodson is on board as Dylan, Ethan Suess plays Max, and Bailey Gavulic plays Annie. Daniel Sharman is reportedly reprising his role as Troy Otto, though how his character will come into play during the upcoming season is still unknown.
