As The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon winds down on what has been an incredibly successful first season and the final six episodes of Fear the Walking Dead crawl closer and closer, audiences are more eager than ever for more information about the next The Walking Dead spin-off. Sure, we’ve loved seeing Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon back in action in France and have enjoyed the bizarre dynamic between Lauren Cohan’s Maggie Greene and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan in The Walking Dead: Dead City, but there’s one couple that will soon have the reunion of a lifetime. In The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes and Danai Gurira’s Michonne Grimes will be back together once again — no matter what it takes. With NYCC in full swing, AMC has released a brand-new trailer and batch of images, teasing more of what’s to come when the series crashes onto screens in 2024.
Though it doesn’t give too much away, the clip focuses mostly on a battered and bloodied Rick who has been “trying” to get away from an unannounced force. Could it be the business of killing zombies? Could it be from the zombies themselves? Or is it the most likely option of being captured by CRM? Who knows — but Rick wants Michonne to know that he did his darndest to break away from that life. Looking like an absolute goddess, the new look also features Gurira in her walker-killing gear, complete with several shots of her absolutely demolishing some of the undead with her katana. While Rick may be known as a famed zombie hunter, there’s no denying that the real star here is Michonne.
What we know so far about The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is that it will center around the very hopeful reunion between long-lost lovers and married couple, Rick and Michonne Grimes. Although Rick was presumed dead after sacrificing himself in Season 9, he reappeared during the series finale, foreshadowing that his story was far from over. The final moments of the episode saw Michonne set out on horseback to find Rick who is now in CRM’s custody.
