Will Season 2 of 'Fear the Walking Dead' Feature Swimming Zombies?

When you're surviving the zombie apocalypse aboard a boat, even a really nice, expensive boat, it's really crucial to know one thing: Can zombies swim?

We've been asking the question of whether walkers might also be swimmers ever since the Season Two trailer of Fear the Walking Dead arrived to tease a sea full of zombies earlier this month, but now we have an answer via EW. Fear the Walking Dead producer Dave Erickson was asked the important question during the show's PaleyFest panel over the weekend and responded like this:

So no swimmers, but definitely floaters, which, not quite as scary, but still pretty scary, right? Of course, as with O.G. The Walking Dead, literal dead people with limitless energy and a burning desire rip the flesh from your bones with their teeth aren't nearly as dangerous as other living human beings.

When the first season of Fear the Walking Dead left off, the group was setting sail the yacht owned by the mysterious Victor Strand, who Erickson said will become a lot less mysterious in the second season.
