Fear the Walking Dead just finished its most critically- and fan-acclaimed run of episodes yet. So what will happen when the show returns on Sept 10?

We have your exclusive first look at the back half of season 3, complete with footage and cast and producer teases as to what’s to come. “All bets are off,” announces showrunner Dave Erickson. “The nation has arrived at the ranch.”

That’s right, it appears Walker and his tribe from the Black Hat Reservation are now moving in with the Ottos and Clarks, and as star Kim Dickens observes, “It’s going to get pretty messy.”

Judging by the footage, it certainly appears that way. And it also looks like it could get messy between mom Madison (Dickens) and daughter Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey), as the former attempts to assert control while the latter forms a tighter bond with Jake, who is now ostensibly in charge.

Check out the footage and commentary in the video above, and get ready for a double episode extravaganza when Fear returns to AMC on Sept. 10.
