Sorry, zombie lovers. Those looking forward to a new episode of AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead” will have to wait another week because the latest installment will not air at its regular time on Sunday, Sept. 6, at 9 p.m. ET.

Because it is a holiday weekend, “The Walking Dead” spinoff show is taking a brief hiatus in between its second and third episode. But AMC is giving those that have yet to watch the new series a chance to catch up. Starting at 6 p.m. ET, the network will play episode 1 and episode 2 back-to-back. The final time to catch episode 2 will be at 12:29 a.m. ET on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7.

“Fear the Walking Dead” will pick back up with episode 3, titled “The Dog,” at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, Sept. 13. The episode will find Travis (Cliff Curtis), Liza (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie) with the Salazar family after they managed to get out of the dangerous street. However, it looks like a fire in the building next door will force the group to leave the safe haven. Elsewhere, Madison (Kim Dickens) will attempt to defend her home and keep her children safe as Nick (Frank Dillane) continues to detox.

The show is currently bringing in big numbers for AMC. “Fear the Walking Dead’s” 90-minute premiere episode raked in 10.1 million viewers and a 6.3 rating among the adults 18-49 demographic. The numbers helped make the episode the biggest series premiere in cable TV history. Episode 2 dropped slightly, bringing in 8.2 million viewers and a 4.1 rating for adults 18-49.
