The official [Twitter account][2] of *Fear the Walking Dead* retweeted the following *Inquisitr* article:


 - [***Fear the Walking Dead* is on Hiatus for Labor Day, Returns September 13**][1]

> Unfortunately, with Labor day falling next weekend, it appears AMC has decided to put *Fear The Walking Dead* on hiatus for one week. 

The fact that the article was retweeted by the series' own official Twitter account would seem to confirm that Labour Day is the official reason for the skipped week.
