Danai Gurira explains how The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is a standalone epic love story focusing on Rick and Michonne‘s journey. However, the spinoff may not be an effective entry point for new viewers since reviews suggest it’s geared towards hardcore fans of The Walking Dead. The Ones Who Live connects to other spinoffs like World Beyond, which provide important context regarding the Crm.
Michonne star Danai Gurira explains why The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live can stand alone. Joining the original series in season 3 and leaving after season 10, Michonne returns in the upcoming spinoff series set after The Walking Dead ending as she searches for Rick Grimes after he was whisked away in a Crm helicopter. Other than Gurira, the spinoff’s cast also includes the return of Andrew Lincoln as Rick and Pollyanna McIntosh as Jadis, while Terry O’Quinn debuts as Beale, the Major General of the Crm.
