Making Sense of the Shambling Post–Walking Dead Timeline
Do spinoffs The Ones Who Live, Daryl Dixon, and Dead City constitute a stealth season 12 of the original series?
But now, with multiple spinoffs focused on fan-favorite characters from the original series, including the new The Ones Who Live — which will feature the reunion of the show’s once and future protagonist, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) with his certified badass wife Michonne (Danai Gurira) — there is no shortage of entry points back into the TWD interconnected universe. In season nine, episode five, “What Comes After,” the former sheriff was kidnapped by a member of the Civic Republic Military named Anne (Pollyanna McIntosh), formerly known as the artsy junkyard community leader Jadis, and taken away in a helicopter in the chaotic aftermath of a bridge explosion. It’s unfortunate that not all of the original-series cast was invited to spin off with somebody — clearly nobody consulted me, or we’d all be sitting down to watch Ross Marquand and Lauren Ridloff in The Walking Dead: Keeping Up With Connie & Aaron, a show in which the two characters exchange notes on what’s happening at their respective communities over brunch.
