A new image from The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live has revealed the return of a key villain from the main series with important connections to Rick Grimes. The franchise protagonist was kidnapped from his Virginia community in season 9 by Jadis, a member of the CRM who took him away in a helicopter after he sustained life-threatening injuries. The mysterious antagonist was confirmed to be returning alongside Rick and Michonne in the upcoming spinoff series.
Now, Entertainment Weekly has released a new image of Jadis from the upcoming The Ones Who Live. The new photo sees her standing in what appears to be a swamp-like, forested location, looking angry about something unclear. Check out the full image of her return below:
What To Expect From Jadis In The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
Jadis was first introduced as an undercover CRM agent, collecting survivors for unknown reasons while grouping them into “A” and “B” categories. While she made her first appearance on the flagship show, her character was expanded upon in The Walking Dead: World Beyond season 2. There, it was revealed she had become a warrant officer within the group, rising to a high position that she implies had to do with her capturing Rick.
Since Jadis will have a role to play in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live‘s Rick return, it’s clear she’ll be a big part of the upcoming series. Although she was last seen in an antagonistic role, it’s likely she’ll be the familiar face that guides Rick through the CRM. While this doesn’t mean the pair will form a friendly bond, her appearance would be an easy way for information about the giant group to be delivered.
Despite her return, though, it appears The Ones Who Live has a new villain in the form of Major General Beale, a figure teased in a short trailer for the spinoff. It’s possible the two antagonists will just be two of many threats Rick and Michonne will have to face as they try to get home. Given Jadis’ own rocky morality, though, there’s also a chance she will assist them in their mission if she sees it’s to her benefit.
