Fans of The Walking Dead have already been treated to a double dose post-apocalyptic action this autumn thanks to AMC's prequel series, Fear The Walking Dead.

And it has now been confirmed the spin-off zombie show will be receiving its very own spin-off in the form of an online miniseries dubbed, Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462.

This will take the form of 16 one-minute episodes following an unlucky group of passengers who have boarded a commercial flight just as the 'Walkers' make an unwelcome appearance.

Another spin-off: Fear The Walking Dead, starring Kim Dickens (pictured), has been given its own accompanying web miniseries, Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462

It has also been announced that at least one character introduced in Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462 will make a crossover appearance on the second season of the main spin-off, giving fans an incentive to catch the web series.

The online series will premiere on AMC.com on October 4 after the season one finale of Fear The Walking Dead, and will also be televised during the ad breaks of The Walking Dead season 6, which resumes on October 11.

Producers are hoping to capitalise on the smash success of the franchise, which has proved hugely lucrative for AMC.

The Walking Dead was the fourth most watched cable series of the 2014-2015 season, drawing a total of 19.9million viewers, while Fear The Walking Dead was the most watched series premiere of the year.

It was first claimed byVariety last month that AMC were planning a stand-alone complementary series focusing on a group of people trapped on a passenger jet mid-flight with a flesh-eating Walker.

The proposed webisodes will be set during the same time period as Fear The Walking Dead and it is presumed the plane will be en route to Los Angeles where that series is set.

Its first episode on Sunday August 23 was the most watched debut in cable TV history with 10.1 million viewers.

It beat the record held previously by AMC's Better Call Saul that debuted in February attracting 6.1 million viewers for the premiere of the Breaking Bad spin-off.

In a new trailer for episode two that airs Sunday night, Madison Clark, played by Kim Dickens, Tobias, a high school senior played by Lincoln A. Castellanos, and Travis Manawa, played by Cliff Curtis, are seen driving at high speed in a pick up truck.

'We need to get away from the city. We need to get away from people,' Travis says.

Then it cuts to scenes of cops shooting at walkers, medical personnel arriving on scene in hazmat suits and people starting to show symptoms of disease.

The first season of Fear the Walking Dead is has six episodes and will return for a second season of 15 episodes next year.
