Background survivors seen in the La Colonia community, as seen throughout season two.

Background survivors alongside the main characters; seen standing outside of the Rosarito Beach Hotel community.

The following are a list of Background Survivors from AMC's Fear the Walking Dead. Sometimes classified as "redshirts"[1], these characters appear in the background during episodes while the main survivors are engaged in the story. These survivors usually have no part in the main storyline and perform normal, everyday, non-crucial actions.

Background survivors are usually left unnamed, have no speaking roles, and are uncredited. They are ideal for being used as redshirts, characters used to "dramatise the dangerous situation experienced by the main characters", such as the zombie attack on the compound in Season 1 Episode 6 "The Good Man" or the border attack on La Colonia citizens in Season 2 Episode "North". With the introduction of several towns and communities, extras are utilized as background survivors to show a large population at these settlements, including El Sereno, La Colonia and the Rosarito Beach Hotel.

Trivia: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, production had to limit the number of background extras present on set in "The Holding". In an attempt to depict a large population in the Holding, production filmed background extras in different outfits to represent more than one character, and spliced together scenes to show as if more people were present in the scene than in reality.

  1. Redshirt is a slang term for a minor stock character of an adventure drama who dies violently soon after being introduced in order to dramatize the dangerous situation experienced by the main characters. The term originated with fans of the science fiction television series Star Trek, from the red shirts worn by Starfleet security officers and engineers, who frequently meet their demise during the episodes.
