Fear the Walking Dead wrapped up its fourth run in the US last night (September 30), so questions are inevitably turning to season 5.

Well, showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg are here to give us a few teasers, and it seems there will be more "introspection" after a "hopeful" season four.

"When we started this season, we wanted it to be about hope," Goldberg told The Hollywood Reporter. "That was the emotional through line for everyone: starting in a place of helplessness and getting toward hope.

"This season has been about not just emotionally coming to believe that, but also making hope part of their mission and their reason to exist in this part of the world. It's a shared mission statement they're all galvanised behind.

"It's going to continue in season five. It's not going to be easy for them. As Strand [Colman Domingo] says, 'Where are we going to find these people? They're in short supply.' Their efforts to help might not always go smoothly, but they're all united behind the shared mission.

"That's the canvas we're playing with in season five. There will be more introspection and looking inward for these characters."

He added: "They will see that even though they have found a noble mission in helping the people of this world, the next step of their mission is learning how to live. What do we do beyond our mission? What do we do beyond survival? How do we live our lives in this world?"

As for the ambiguous fate of Daniel Salazar (Ruben Blades), Chambliss confirmed that he is alive and that he will return down the line.

"We don't want to give anything away, but we've said it before and we'll keep saying it: Daniel Salazar is out there," he teased. "He's alive, and he will be popping up again in the Walking Dead universe."

Fear the Walking Dead airs on AMC in the US and on AMC on BT TV in the UK.
