Danai Gurira Says His WALKING DEAD Spinoff Will ‘Complete the Story’ of RICK & MICHONNE

Actress Danai Gurira (Black Panther) is coming off the end of its series, The walking dead, in which he has starred for the past ten years. Next, she will launch the untitled spinoff Rick & Michonne, which she says will “complete the story” of the two characters. The new show will be an “epic love story” that will reveal what happened to Rick after his disappearance and Michonne’s quest to find him.

Gurira appeared in Sunday’s final episode of Talking Deadfollowing The walking dead final, and said:

“Gimple, Andy and I have been working for the last year, about a year and a half, really building the story and completing the story of Rick and Michonne. We’ve given you a little taste of the beginnings of what’s happening, a hint of what that will come [in Rick & Michonne].”

Plot details remain largely under wraps. According to a synopsis from AMC, the series “features an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By unstoppable power. By ghosts of who they used to be. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead…and, ultimately, a war against the living.They will be able to rediscover each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they have ever known Before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they still alive or will they discover that they, too, are The Walking Dead?

Gurira, who is also a writer and executive producer of the new series, added:

“It’s fun and a lot of work, but I’m really excited about it. I think it’s going to come together in a really cool way, and I think people are going to like it.”

This is the spin-off I can’t wait to see! I love both of these characters and can’t wait to see what happens with them. We will keep you updated as new details become available.
