"The Ones Who Live" trailer for "The Walking Dead" spinoff featuring Rick and Michonne offers a glimpse into the upcoming plot. The release date is set for February 25, 2024, fulfilling a promise made five years ago. The franchise has undergone changes with the departures of key characters, leading to the cancellation of major plans for season 12.
The spinoff resembles a "Walking Dead" movie with its big-budget action scenes and concise storytelling. A Rick and Michonne show is more preferable than a movie as it allows for both characters to have their own stories and potentially overlap. Smaller seasons benefit the franchise as they provide a focused and visually appealing experience. "The Ones Who Live" will consist of six episodes, with an emphasis on action. Overall, the spinoff shows promise and proves that the franchise is better with smaller seasons.
