Zombie Time
Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira will reprise their roles from the original zombie show in the franchise’s latest spin-off
The walking dead are still dead, still walking, and still causing all sorts of zombie apocalypse problems in the new trailer for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
The upcoming spin-off, premiering Feb. 25 on AMC+, will notably feature the return of Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes and Danai Gurira’s Michonne. Both characters were integral to the original show’s run, with Rick serving as its center point for nine seasons and Michonne joining in Season Three and eventually becoming Rick’s romantic partner.
The new trailer for The Ones Who Live is a bit vague on plot, but there are certainly lots of undead zombies, as well as an extremely menacing and monstrous new human army, with Terry O’Quinn playing the major at the helm. As for Rick and Michonne, their story and the nature of their relationship in this harrowing new world remain a mystery.
An official show description only offered a few clues as to what’s in store, reading: “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?”
The Ones Who Live will also star Lesley-Ann Brandt, Matthew Jeffers, and Pollyanna McIntosh, who’ll be returning as here character Jadis, leader of the Scavengers in The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead has so-far spawned six spin-off series, the first of which, Fear the Walking Dead, debuted during the original show’s run and wrapped last year. Since then, there’s also been World Beyond, Tales of the Walking Dead, and Dead City, while last year saw the return of another original series favorite, Norman Reed, reprising his role in the eponymous Daryl Dixon.
