AMC's sixth spinoff of The Walking Dead is a continuation of the stories of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira). The Ones Who Live premiered on AMC and AMC+ in February 2024 to positive reviews. On September 10, the series became available on Blu-ray and DVD.
The synopsis for the series reads: "The love story between Rick and Michonne. Changed by a world that is constantly changing, will they find themselves in a war against the living or will they discover that they too are The Walking Dead?"
Lincoln and Gurira return, reprising their roles as Rick and Michonne, two characters introduced in the early seasons of The Walking Dead. Pollyanna McIntosh also reprises her role as Jadis, a character she previously played in TWD and World Beyond. Other cast members featured in the series are Terry O'Quinn, Lesley Ann Brandt, Matthew Jeffers, Andrew Bachelor, Breeda Wool, Craig Tate, and Frankie Quinones. There are three more guest appearances from familiar faces within TWDU, but I won't spoil them if you haven't seen the series.
The Walking Dead Chief Content Officer, Scott M. Gimple, served as showrunner and executive producer for the series. Lincoln, Gurira and TWD veterns Denise Huth, Brian Brockrath, and Greg Nicotero also executive produced the series.
The Ones Who Live set all-time records for viewership and customer acquisition on AMC+ and also had the No. 1 drama premiere of the 2023/24 TV season in key demos. The series had the biggest premiere on AMC in six years and was the No. 1 topic trending on Twitter/X the night of the premiere.

The physical copies specify that this is season 1 of The Ones Who Live. While this is accurate, why note it if this will be the only season, as the series has been touted as limited? This could signify that the powers that be within TWDU are open to the possbility of additional seasons of his series. What that would look like is anyones guess but it gives fans hope for more content.
