As previously stated, “The Ones Who Live” will be the triumphant return of Rick Grimes. After two seasons of “The Walking Dead” going Rick-less, Andrew Lincoln is returning to the role he pioneered in 2010. Danai Gurira will be Lincoln’s co-lead after first portraying Michonne in Season 3 of “The Walking Dead.” Pollyanna McIntosh is another familiar face who will appear in the series. The actor plays Jadis in the original series, a leader of the garbage dump community who is one of the last people Rick sees before his departure from the show.
While the two lovers will be searching for each other, the series will be populated with some new faces as well. Terry O’Quinn (“Lost”), Lesley-Ann Brandt (“Lucifer”), and Matt Jeffries will portray Beale, Thorne, and Nat, respectively. Norman Reedus has reprised his role of Daryl Dixon in a spin-off of his own, leading many fans to clamor for the two spiritual brothers to be reunited, but that is only speculation at this point. Whether “The Ones Who Live” and “Daryl Dixon” will have a cross-over event remains to be seen.
