The reunion between fan-favorite characters Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) will be featured in the upcoming spinoff, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The series completed filming in May 2023, and Scott M. Gimple serves as showrunner and is listed as a producer with Christie Colliopoulos, Brian Bockrath, Greg Nicotero, Lincoln, and Gurira.
