Even earlier than its 2022 finale, the world of AMC’s The Strolling Lifeless was increasing. Fear the Walking Dead kicked off the spinoff pattern, and reveals like Daryl Dixon, World Past, Lifeless Metropolis, and Tales of the Strolling Lifeless adopted. Now, essentially the most extremely anticipated of these reveals, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, is about to debut, and with it, the present’s producer has teased one thing that sounds awfully acquainted.
The Ones Who Reside, which premieres February 25, brings again unique most important characters Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira), lastly telling a narrative that has been teased for years. And, on the present’s premiere, government producer Scott M. Gimple talked about that he’s aiming towards reuniting these characters with characters within the different spin-offs.
“There are such a lot of issues with this universe that I plan and put collectively, however I additionally know that God laughs, and it’s important to pivot to one thing else,” Gimple informed Variety. “I completely have been working in the direction of that and hoping in the direction of that, however we’ll see what occurs. It could be a model of it that nobody expects.”
So Gimple is pondering of bringing Rick, Michonne, and possibly Daryl, Carol, Negan, and Maggie again collectively on one present? Huh… sounds nearly precisely just like the present that was on the air for 11 seasons known as The Strolling Lifeless. Name me skeptical, name me pessimistic, however doing all these spin-off reveals simply to as soon as once more redo the present you determined to finish a number of years in the past appears extremely unsatisfying. As a result of what occurs after that? Perhaps we give all of the characters their very own reveals once more? Thrilling!
Now, to be honest, if this reunion was a one-off and type of tied all the pieces up? Gave us a cheerful ending? Nice. I get that. However don’t you get the sensation, after a half-dozen spin-off reveals, there’s no finish in sight?
Truthfully, although, this isn’t Gimple’s fault or something. It’s the character of this world we stay in the place everybody appears to need linked, ongoing tales. The issue is, you possibly can’t have linked ongoing tales with out bringing in new characters and concepts. In case you preserve going again to these unique characters and concepts—nicely, it will get actual outdated, actual fast.
We’ll see simply how, or if, this all performs out. It could by no means occur. You need to think about a variety of it is going to relaxation on simply how many individuals watch, and like, The Ones Who Reside. However, tell us under, are you in any respect excited by Nonetheless Strolling Lifeless?
