Despite the fact that there have been many spin-offs of the TWD franchise, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is indeed the most-awaited release. The only reason why the spin-off’s popularity skyrocketed moments after the announcement is due to the return of Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln), one of the major characters of the TWD universe.
Rick bid farewell to the series in Season 9, Episode 5, “What Comes After.” However, the character finally showed up in the final moments of the grand finale of the original series, “Rest in Peace.” Now that the spin-off will finally shed light on so many unanswered questions about the character's disappearance, the excitement among the TWD fandom is reaching a fever pitch.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is scheduled to release on Jan. 25, 2024, at 9:00 pm ET. Follow along with the article to learn more about the exact release times for different time zones.

What to expect from The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
The Ones Who Live will begin from where it left off in the original series. The upcoming spin-off is not only focused on Rick Grimes and his unfolding story but will also explore what happened to Michonne (played by Danai Gurira), who will serve as the female lead.
The story will take place in a whole different setting and will mostly be seeing the C.R.M. (Civic Republic Military), who captured Rick. C.R.M., the advanced military organization, debuted in the franchise’s original series in the fifth episode of Season 8, ‘The Big Scary U.’
Although they also appeared in Fear The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: The World Beyond, the clandestine organization remained a mystery. The C.R.M. will be the antagonistic organization in The Ones Who Live, and the series will also see the debut of its infamous leader, Major General Beale (played by Terry O'Quinn).
