It\u2019s been a long time since we\u2019ve seen Rick and Michonne<\/a>, but the fan-favourite characters from The Walking Dead<\/a> will soon be back in their very own spin-off, The Ones Who Live.<\/p>\n

The duo, played by Andrew Lincoln<\/a> and Danai Gurira, will reunite in the series when it airs next month in the US, with the series being called an \u201cepic love story\u201d.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Scott M Gimple previously teased what we can expect, saying: \u201cThese are two people that have been separated for a very long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve lived whole other existences and they have to find themselves again, let alone each other. It\u2019s hopefully going to be mind-blowing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show replaces the previously announced trilogy of films<\/a> centred on Rick Grimes, and according to Gurira it will be \u201csomething truly special\u201d.<\/p>\n

But, with a trailer having recently been released, when will it air in the US and the UK, and who will appear in the cast? Read on for everything you need to know about The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.<\/p>\n

In the US, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will premiere on Sunday 25th February 2024\u00a0on\u00a0AMC\u00a0and AMC+<\/strong>, but here in the UK we\u2019re still currently waiting for a release date.<\/p>\n

We also can\u2019t be certain yet where the show will debut in the UK. The Walking Dead franchise airs across various platforms in the UK, with the original show available on Disney Plus<\/a>,\u00a0The Walking Dead: World Beyond<\/a>\u00a0streaming on\u00a0Prime Video<\/a> and Fear the Walking Dead<\/a> available on both Prime Video and AMC on BT TV.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for the series states that it presents \u201can epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world\u201d, while teasing that \u201cRick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead\u2026 And ultimately, a war against the living\u201d.<\/p>\n

It continues: \u201cCan they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they\u2019ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive \u2014 or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?\u201d<\/p>\n

The six-episode series was originally set to be a trilogy of films focusing on Rick \u2013 however, the project was subsequently re-worked with Gurira coming on board and it becoming a mini-series.<\/p>\n

The two central stars for the series will, of course, be Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln, while Pollyanna McIntosh will also be returning as her character Jadis. Meanwhile, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Terry O\u2019Quinn and Matthew August Jeffers will appear as new characters.<\/p>\n

Lincoln previously said of appearing in the project, which he is also executive producing: \u201cThis has been the most extraordinary journey playing Rick Grimes for the best part of a decade. The friendships I\u2019ve made along the way are deep and lasting, so it\u2019s fitting that I finally get to complete the story with Danai and Scott and the rest of the TWD family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited to be returning to the screen as Rick, reuniting with Danai as Michonne, and bringing the fans an epic love story to add to the Walking Dead Universe.\u201d<\/p>

Meanwhile Gurira, who is a co-creator on the series<\/a>, said: \u201cMichonne and this TWD family has meant so much to me, and to continue the journey of these beloved characters, alongside Scott and Andy, both creatively and in front of the camera, and bringing The Walking Dead fans something truly special is just glorious. I can\u2019t wait to pick up the katana again.\u201d<\/p>\n
