The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (2024)
Love doesn't die.
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?

What kind of watch this is
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live drops Rick and Michonne into the Civic Republic of Philadelphia, a city-state where the living are as dangerous as the dead. It is a 2024 sci-fi drama that asks if love can survive in a place designed to erase it. The series runs 6 episodes, each 51 minutes long, totaling roughly 5 hours of viewing time. That is a manageable chunk of time for a story that spends its entire run on a single, escalating question: can two people rebuild a life in a world that forbids it? The answer is complicated, as is everything else here.
What the critics said
Critics gave it a warm, if not rapturous, reception. Rotten Tomatoes reports 88% positive reviews from 55 critics, while Metacritic sits at 61 out of 100 based on 13 scores. The former’s consensus calls it a consistent treat for longtime fans that balances past and present with blockbuster scope. It landed high on year-end lists, including MovieWeb’s top 2 and TheWrap’s end-of-year picks.
How it did with audiences
The premiere pulled in 3 million viewers over its first three days, marking the biggest start for a new AMC series since 2018. It also set records for the most-watched episode in AMC+ history and the biggest direct-to-consumer sign-up day for the platform. When it landed on Netflix on January 13, 2025, it climbed to the #2 spot in the U.S. and #8 globally, amassing 2.3 million views and 11.7 million viewing hours that week. On TMDB, users give it an 8.0. People clearly found the zombies easier to tolerate than the wait.
