AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Universe is set to expand with several upcoming spinoff projects, the most notable of which is a limited series centered on Rick Grimes and Michonne.
Bloody Disgusting has learned that production for the upcoming The Walking Dead Universe spinoff starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira began last week in New Jersey.
The six-episode series is set to debut next year on AMC and AMC+.
AMC released the above behind-the-scenes image from set, where Lincoln and Gurira reunite to continue the highly anticipated journey of Rick Grimes and Michonne.
The series 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? Without each other, are they even alive — or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?
Scott M. Gimple, Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe, serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Lincoln, Gurira, Denise Huth and Brian Bockrath.
