Rick Grimes and Michonne return in the gripping first look trailer for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

A first look trailer has just been released for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

One of several spinoffs created for The Walking Dead, the new series focuses specifically on Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira). The two fan favorites haven’t seen one another since the events of The Walking Dead, but it would seem in The Ones Who Live that fate will inevitably bring them back together in their post-apocalyptic world. Before that can happen, each will have major challenges standing in the way of their potential reunion, as suggested in the new trailer. The trailer can be viewed below, courtesy of AMC.

The Walking Dead Creator Teases a New, More Faithful Adaptation

Robert Kirkman addresses the possibility of making another adaptation of The Walking Dead, but with a twist.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, per the official synopsis from AMC, “presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead… And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive — or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?”

At Least One Other Familiar Face Will Be Featured

Pollyanna McIntosh is also returning as Jadis in The Ones Who Live, and she can be seen in the new trailer. Other cast members include Lesley-Ann Brandt, Terry O’Quinn, and Matthew August Jeffers. Scott M. Gimple created the series with Michonne actor Danai Gurira. Gimple is also serving as showrunner and is executive producing with Gurira, Andrew Lincoln, Denise Huth, and Brian Bockrath.

Where Every Fear the Walking Dead Character Ends Up in the Finale

The final two episodes of Fear the Walking Dead leave the door open for many characters. Here’s the fate of every main character by the series finale.

The Walking Dead Lives On With Its Spinoffs

The series was originally announced as a trilogy of films before it was retooled for the small screen. It follows previous spinoffs like Fear the Walking Dead, which wrapped up its run in 2023, along with the anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead. Other major characters from the original series are also starring in their own separate spinoffs as well. Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan and Lauren Cohan’s Maggie united for the New York-based series The Walking Dead: Dead City, while Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon went overseas for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Melissa McBride also returned as Carol in the latter and will be a series regular in Season 2.
