Fear the Walking Dead 10:10 p.m., 2:37 a.m. on AMC When this companion series to “The Walking Dead” was launched, its creators said they expected no overlap between the two shows. Evidently, however, they’ve changed their mind in the interim, because Season 4, which premieres tonight, sees the addition of a character new to this series: Morgan Jones (Lennie James), whose destiny was closely linked for a time to Deputy Rick Grimes on “The Walking Dead.” Other new series regulars include Garret Dillahunt (“Deadwood”), Jenna Elfman (“Dharma & Greg”) and Maggie Grace (“Lost”).

Kevin Can Wait 7 p.m. on CBS/13
Teaching someone else how to drive often can be a challenge, but it gets an extra wrinkle in the new episode “Pedal to the Meddle.” Arthur (Judd Hirsch) volunteers to teach Franco (Jermaine Fowler) the rules of the road, but it turns out Arthur didn’t follow one himself: getting his license renewed. Tush (David Koechner) revs up for the royal time he anticipates having at a certain, much-reported wedding. Katey Sagal also stars. 9 p.m. on CBS/13 The romance of Paige and Walter (Katharine McPhee, Elyes Gabel) was just getting started when this show’s previous year ended — and now, it takes what’s termed “a shocking turn” in the Season 4 finale, “A Life in the Sand.” The story is set in Northeast Africa, where the team faces a literal minefield to try to save the locals.
