Promo stills for "Fear the Walking Dead" continue to trickle in as the premiere of "The Walking Dead" spin-off inches closer. A new image courtesy of IGN has just emerged and it shows Liza (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and Christopher (Lorenzo James Henrie) wearing quizzical, almost anxious expressions. 

Liza is a single mother who is working on making her dreams come true in a nursing school after being confined in an unhappy marriage. As she pursues her aspirations, she works on molding her dreamed future while raising her son, Christopher. 

Christopher is a stubborn teenager who simply longs for his father Travis' full attention. He detests his dad for pushing them into establishing a relationship with his new family, but all the youngster wants is for him to have his dad back, only him. 

"Fear the Walking Dead" is low on flesh-eating and high on family affairs. In an interview with Variety, executive producer Dave Erickson explained that it will be an attempt to "start with holding on to the family drama as our main story, and then bringing in the apocalypse into it." 

"It's interesting because Robert [Kirkman] has always said that it's like 'your parents got divorced, and oh, there were zombies.' 'You didn't get asked to the prom, oh, there were zombies,'" he said, adding that "Fear the Walking Dead" is throwing it all the way back when zombies were nowhere on the horizon. 

"We've got a little bit more real estate to play with that idea, and build it into something that becomes more and more apocalyptic. As things begin to disintegrate, it's through the perspective and the lens of our core family, seeing this and trying to wrap their brains around it," Erickson explained. 

"Fear the Walking Dead" officially starts the family affair/ zombie mayhem on Aug. 23 on AMC.
