The central question it poses is whether Rick and Michonne can find each other and themselves in this new, brutal reality. Are they enemies, lovers, or something else in this changed world?
The series is led by Scott M. Gimple, the Walking Dead Universe’s Chief Content Officer, along with executive producers Lincoln, Gurira, Denise Huth, and Brian Bockrath. Renowned for his work on “The Walking Dead,” Greg Nicotero oversees the zombie makeup effects, promising another visually stunning and emotionally charged addition to the franchise.
