Fear the Walking Dead, AMC's original series will finally throw some light on why and how zombies infected the world of The Walking Dead.

The creepy trailer of the spin-off series debuted during TWD's season 5 finale episode, where a voice-over speaks about a mysterious flu spreading in various parts of the US.

The spin-off series will be set in Los Angeles and will talk about the initial days of the flu infection and how people turned into zombies.

The voice-over which sounds more like a radio announcement says, "Morning Los Angeles, Hope you got your flu shots. Reports in five states having strange viruses going around, so if you are not feeling well, go home and take care of yourself."

The 16 second teaser also gave TWD fans a clue about why Rick Grimes woke up from coma to a zombie infected world.
