'Fear the Walking Dead' renewed for season 6 at AMC

They would probably renew if only one person were watching.

That the series was renewed is little surprise. While it isn’t necessarily a ratings juggernaut, the fifth season debuted with a 0.6 rating in adults 18-49, drawing 1.97 million viewers. This is a considerable opening gambit, even if the ratings have declined since then; the most recent episode scored as low as a 0.3, putting its average for the season at about a 0.5. So, despite sagging a bit year-to-year, the only show on AMC performing better than Fear the Walking Dead is The Walking Dead itself.
