AMC’s plan for Rick and Michonne’s return creates some big concerns for their Walking Dead spinoff. Years after announcing that Andrew Lincoln would reprise his role as Rick Grimes in a trilogy of movies, AMC confirmed that Rick will actually be back on the small screen instead. The next chapter in Rick’s Walking Dead story will arrive in the form of a miniseries.

Now, AMC has finally painted a picture of what the franchise has in store for the two characters. A six-episode spinoff set to release on AMC and AMC+ will see Rick and Michonne’s reunion take center stage.
