What each season of Fear the Walking Dead costs
Very few people need every season at once. Because streaming is billed by the month with no contract, the real cost of catching up on Fear the Walking Dead is however many months your viewing pace takes — not a yearly subscription. The table below prices each season on Netflix, the cheapest paid service carrying the show at $8.99 a month, at the same 20 episodes-per-month pace used above.
| Season | Episodes | Months to finish | Cost on Netflix | Per episode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 6 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$1.50 |
| Season 2 | 15 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.60 |
| Season 3 | 16 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.56 |
| Season 4 | 16 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.56 |
| Season 5 | 16 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.56 |
| Season 6 | 16 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.56 |
| Season 7 | 16 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.56 |
| Season 8 | 12 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$0.75 |
What this means: Season 1 is the cheapest way in at about $8.99. Working through the seasons one at a time with a cancellation between each would total about $71.92, more than the $62.93 of a single continuous run — so if you intend to watch the whole show, keep the subscription open and finish it.
