"The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live," the upcoming spinoff of the popular franchise, will see the return of Rick Grimes and Michonne. While their appearances are highly anticipated and expected to be a huge hit, the show must avoid repeating the mistake of delaying their reunion until the end of the season. The franchise has made the error of relying on cliffhangers and leaving audiences wanting more in the past, which can be frustrating. 

Additionally, the spinoff should focus on building a solid story in season 1 before considering a second season. The show must also have Rick and Michonne fighting alongside each other to set up the future of the franchise. Ultimately, the reunification of Rick and his children, as well as the confrontation with the CRM, should be key elements of the show's success.
