“I do think people will see as a little more relatable, just in terms of how we take care of each other,” says Mo Collins who plays Sarah in FTWD. Helmed as “The End is the Beginning,” season 6’s exploration into those ties of loyalty, alliances and betrayal might be more impactful now on audiences than ever before.

I think one things that the pandemic-or I hope to God it has-is it’s reminded people of just how connected we all are.” I think that that is one thing going forward that people are going identify a lot more with our show, because it is a group of strangers who have become family. Even though we might not have said it before or we might not have realized it before, they are vital parts of our life and we can think of them as family. “I think that one of the things the pandemic has done, is it has reminded us of all of the people who we are connected to. “I think one of the things as a theme in a lot of television shows, not just in ours, is that a group of people who are not necessarily related find themselves thinking of each other as family,” says James.
