Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' - The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live - Miniseries

So another The Walking Dead spin-off is done and dusted. These six episode, easy to digest, smaller cast series are a hell of a lot better than the OG parent show.

The Ones Who Live is sixth spin-off and overall seventh television series in The Walking Dead franchise.

The series is set after the conclusion of the original The Walking Dead series, with Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln and Pollyanna McIntosh reprising their roles from previous The Walking Dead franchise series.

Premiering late February, on AMC and AMC+, this is a new deal for Stan in Australia to broadcast all the new The Walking Dead spin-offs. The six episodes (originally set to be a movie trilogy) is based on a love story of two people kept apart by an unstoppable power, trying to find each other. Rick Grimes & Michonne are back baby!

Andrew Lincoln is (and always will be) Rick Grimes, the former sheriff's deputy from King County, Georgia, the former leader of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, and Michonne's husband who was presumed to be dead. He later becomes a Sergeant Major in the CRM (Civic Republic Military). While Danai Gurira is back as Michonne: A katana-wielding warrior, former leader of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, and Rick's wife who left her group to search for him.

The long lost lovers are joined by Pollyanna McIntosh as Jadis Stokes / Anne: The warrant officer of the CRM, who disappeared along with Rick Grimes on a CRM helicopter. McIntosh also appeared in the spin-off series The Walking Dead: World Beyond's second season in a main role.

SPOILERS BELOW. Look out!

So how does it end? Will it remain a miniseries? Or will AMC not be able to help themselves like the previous two spin-offs? I totally reckon it will be back for a second run. SPOILERS incoming. You have been warned, twice!

Rick and Michonne return to Cascadia Base where Michonne sneaks in and finds and destroys Jadis' dossier before attending a briefing for the Frontliners where Michonne learns that the CRM intends to abduct select children from Portland before destroying the city with chlorine gas.

Rick is given the Echelon Briefing in which Beale informs him of the truth about the destruction of Omaha and the Campus Colony and the upcoming attack on Portland. 

Beale reveals that, believing that humanity only has around fourteen years left, the CRM is going to declare martial law on the Civic Republic and destroy survivor communities all across the world, scavenging their resources to ensure their own survival. 

Rick kills Beale with his own sword and Rick and Michonne rig up a makeshift bomb on the chlorine gas arsenal before being confronted by Thorne who had deduced the truth about Michonne's identity.

Michonne is forced to kill Thorne and the bomb and the gas kills the CRM Force Command and all of the Frontliners. 

With the CRM's atrocities exposed and its command structure decimated, the civilian government takes over and reforms the CRM to aid other survivors while enabling free travel to and from the city. Rick and Michonne return home and are finally reunited with their children, Judith and R.J.

After surviving so many bombs, was the fairytale ending the end of this series? I will leave it as a miniseries for now, as we launch into Q2 streaming with Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24'!

Yes it's a little racy, but as P!nk would say, SO WHAT!
