Is there any news on The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live season 2?
By Renee Hansen
AMC premiered The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live on February 25, and the first episode was full of shocking moments, including a brief look and Rick and Michonne together for the first time in years. New episodes will premiere on Sundays through March 31, when the season finale airs. Fans are eager to know if there is any news regarding a second season.
During the 2024 TCA Winter Press Tour, TWD CCO and The Ones Who Live showrunner Scott M. Gimple teased fans that the series may not be THAT limited. There have been conflicting reports regarding the longevity of The Ones Who Live. Reports have circulated that the series will only be one season, while others have stated there will be more.
"Anything is possible — even if Rick dies in the last episode, anything is possible. We’re focused on this one right now. But this one came together in a really amazing way, where there were all sorts of plans. And then the world changed and we altered those plans."
- Scott M. Gimple
Excuse me sir, Rick what? Surely you jest!
Gimple could just be teasing fans regarding another season, but AMC has renewed Dead City, the Maggie & Negan-centric series, and Daryl Dixon, the series focused on the title character, with Carol joining the series in season 2. Only time will tell if TOWL will have more seasons, and this is something that might be announced before the end of this season.
There has also been discussion of crossovers and linking up all the shows. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, when asked if all TWD heroes will be reunited, Gimple stated, “It is my fervent hope to do that,” then added, “We don't have the imminent plan right now." A foundation has been laid, but many factors must be navigated for this idea to come to fruition.
