AMC has done an excellent job giving fans of The Walking Dead continued stories in the form of spinoff series. The three newest spinoffs are direct spinoffs, which continue the stories of characters initially introduced in the main series. One highly anticipated spinoff was The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
This series featured the return of Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira as the TWD power couple of Rick and Michonne. The two were parted in season 9 of the main series when it was thought Rick was killed in the bridge explosion. Rick actually survived the explosion but was whisked away to the CRM (Civic Republic Military) by Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh).
In season 10, Michonne discovered evidence of Rick's survival and, with the encouragement of their daughter Judith (Cailey Fleming), left the communities in search of him. Their fates were unknown until the premiere of The Ones Who Live on AMC and AMC+ in 2024.
The Ones Who Live limited series
The Ones Who Live was a limited six-part series that was described as a continuation of Rick and Michonne's epic love story. At this time, it will only be one season, but TWD creators have stated that doesn't mean we won't see the characters in future spinoffs.
The basic story of the series features Rick and Michonne's reunion and their combined efforts to take down the CRM (Civic Republic Military). Together the duo is practically unstoppable and the series did an excellent job of wrapping up this chapter in the couple's story.
As fan favorite characters, TWD fans are eager to see more of their story. While there have been no announcements of either characters for Dead City or the Daryl Dixon spinoff, it is exciting to think we will see them again, sometime.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live streams on Netflix.
