The diffusion of The Ones Who Live began on February 25 on the American channel AMC and its streaming service AMC+. This is therefore the seventh series of the universe Walking Deadas well as the third spin-off featuring main characters from the parent series (after The Walking Dead: Dead City And Daryl Dixon).

From films to series

Originally, the return of Rick Grimes to the universe of The Walking Dead had to be done through several films. According to Varietywhen the actor left at the end of season 9 of the show, Lincoln had the ambition to continue Rick’s story in a new form, but he also immediately wanted Gurira to be part of the adventure .

The initial idea was therefore to make a first feature film about Rick in which Michonne would make a brief appearance at the end and then launch the other films. But as is often the case in Hollywood, plans changed and the project turned into a series.

Scott M. Gimple, the boss of Walking Dead Universe at AMC, is the showrunner of the series and its co-creator with Lincoln and Gurira. All three also serve as producers alongside Denise Huth and Brian Bockrath.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will debut March 29 on Paramount+ with two episodes, followed by a new episode each week.

Please note, Paramount+ is included in the Ciné Séries and Friends & Family offers from Canal+.
