Rick and Michonne's love story continues with The Walking Dead: The Ones That Live. This is the third in a trio of new spinoffs that come directly out of The Walking Dead flagship series, they include The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Previous spinoffs in the TWD Universe include Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Tales of the Walking Dead

For years Michonne (Danai Gurira) believed her husband Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) to be dead, but when a glimmer of hope appeared she went off in search of him. In The Walking Dead series finale, fans were given a glimpse of Michonne's journey to find Rick, along with confirmation that he's still alive out there, somewhere. 

The What to Watch review calls The Ones Who Live "a triumph, lovingly created by TWD fans for TWD fans."

Here's everything we know so far about The Walking Dead: The Ones That Live.

"The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead... And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they've ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors?&#ff7dc6;Without each other, are they even alive -- or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?"
