Alright zombie fans listen up! You devoured The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live right? That Rick and Michonne reunion was epic! But now the big question is... was that really it? Are we getting a Season 2 of The Ones Who Live or is their story done ? Let's dive into what's happening in The Walking Dead universe because trust me there's still a LOT going on.
'The Ones Who Live' Season 2: Never Say Never... But Don't Get Your Hopes Too High Just Yet
So everyone's wondering about more Rick and Michonne right? Well the folks behind The Walking Dead aren't giving us a straight answer about a Season 2 of The Ones Who Live. Scott Gimple the big boss of the whole TWD universe has been talking and he's basically saying "kinda sorta maybe".
He admitted the original plan was for The Ones Who Live to be a limited series like a one-time special event. But then he dropped the classic "never say never" line. Gimple hinted at "possibilities" and "strange iterations of shows" with Rick and Michonne or other characters . Basically he is keeping the door open a crack but not promising anything concrete. It sounds like they are thinking about it but there's no official Season 2 announcement on the horizon.
Some folks thought when The Ones Who Live landed on Netflix that might be a sign of Season 2 news coming soon but nope not yet. For now it seems like The Ones Who Live was intended to be a special chapter for Rick and Michonne and whether that chapter continues is still up in the air.
But Hey The Walking Dead Never Dies! Spinoffs Galore Still Coming in 2025 and Beyond
Even if The Ones Who Live Season 2 is a maybe the good news is The Walking Dead franchise is still kicking (and biting!). We are getting more zombie action in 2025 with the other spinoffs.
First up we have The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 hitting screens in May 2025. That's right Maggie and Negan are back causing trouble in New York City. Season 1 was a hit thanks to the messy but fascinating dynamic between these two. Expect more gritty survival in the concrete jungle.
Then there is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Season 3 is on its way and Daryl is heading to SPAIN! After his French adventure Daryl's European tour continues. Season 2 already reunited him with Carol and who knows what crazy walker variants and survivor groups they will encounter in Spain. These spinoffs are keeping the TWD world alive and exploring new corners of the apocalypse.
Beyond Rick and Michonne: More Walking Dead Projects Cooking and Franchise Future is Bright
It is not just Dead City and Daryl Dixon. The powers that be at AMC are definitely not done with The Walking Dead. Gimple has teased even more plans for the franchise. Think "More Tales of the Walking Dead" which is that anthology series with standalone stories. He also hinted at "something very different" being "cooked up" in another part of the TWD world.
The Walking Dead is a huge deal for AMC even after all these years. They are clearly looking to keep the zombie train rolling with new shows new characters and new corners of the apocalypse to explore. So while we wait to see if Rick and Michonne's story continues the Walking Dead universe is expanding in all sorts of directions. Plenty more undead action to come!
