The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live release schedule: When is episode 1 of the Rick and Michonne spin-off out?

It’s only a matter of days before we’re reunited with everyone’s favorite apocalypse survivors Rick Grimes and Michonne Hawthorne in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Their comebacks are sure to be explosive, exciting, and emotional ones, too, given they’ve been apart – and trying to make their ways back to one another – for almost a decade.

Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira are back as the zombie-killing twosome, as is Pollyanna McIntosh as Jadis, with franchise newbies Lesley Ann-Brandt, Matthew Jeffers, Craig Tate, and Lost’s Terry O’Quinn rounding out the supporting cast.

“If they find each other, can they find each other?” showrunner Scott Gimple previously told SFX magazine. “When we talked about them, I thought about sweeping historical dramas with war, and stories told over years where the world comes between people. It affects them and it doesn’t make it easy.” Ready to have your heartbroken?

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live releases on Sunday, February 25 on AMC and AMC+ at 9pm Eastern Time in the US. The spin-off has yet to announce a UK date, though we’ll be sure to keep you posted. That said, The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon haven’t made their ways across the pond, so it’s unlikely this installment will anytime soon.
