The final season of “Fringe” will kick off this fall on Friday, September 28, and it looks like Olivia Dunhmam (Anna Torv), Peter Bishop (Josh Jackson) and Walter Bishop (John Noble) have their work cut out for them.
The new trailer for Season 5 of “Fringe” was released at Comic-Con on Sunday. In addition to a series of explosions, Peter realizes that his entire career as a member of the FBI Fringe Division has carried him to the events of the show’s last season.
“Everything we’ve been through is just preparation for what we face now,” he says in the trailer.
