THE WALKING DEAD's Scott Gimple Says Don't Count on THE ONES WHO LIVE Season 2, but That Doesn't Mean It's Over — GeekTyrant
With The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon already on its second season and Dead City set to return in May, fans have been wondering about the future of The Ones Who Live . The limited series brought back Rick and Michonne for a long-awaited reunion, but is there more to their story? So far, AMC hasn't announced a renewal, and based on recent comments from The Walking Dead 's chief content officer Scott Gimple, it sounds like we shouldn't expect one. He said: "I mean, the plan was to keep it limited.' Reinforcing the idea that The Ones Who Live was always meant to be a one-off. But that doesn't necessarily mean we've seen the last of Rick and Michonne. He added: "Not necessarily never to see those characters again, but to keep it limited. But I always say, you never know." The series, starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, follows Rick and Michonne years after they were separated in the main show. Rick, a reluctant prisoner of the Civic Republic Military, is finally reunited with Michonne, and together, they take on the CRM's questionable plans for rebuilding civilization. Gimple, however, isn't shutting the door completely. "There's so many... I've been very careful to not say, 'Oh, that'll never happen,' because it does. "So you know, there are possibilities. And there's possibilities of all sorts of strange iterations of shows with those characters and with other characters. So you know, I think it's entirely possible." Lincoln also previoiusly weighed in on the possibility of reprising the role of Rick again at some point in the future, saying: "This, for me, felt that we could comfortably say that that's done.' He continued: 'That's a reunion; that's the perfect iteration of a story that I thought wasn't gonna happen for a time, and then Danai and Scott both said, 'We need to reunite, we've got to do an epic love story.' "I went, 'That's a great idea – and let's tell the story of the CRM and do what the grown-ups have been doing' and maybe some filling in, because I love all of that.' He went on to say that he's not counting out a possible return: "I'm a bit of a geek for all of the mythology and what's going on, what's been happening. So the short answer is never say never. 'Because if there's a good enough place to put Rick in, that we haven't seen before, there are characters out in the universe that I would love to act with again. But it has to be a really, really, really good story." We'll just have to wait and see how things continue to play out in the franchise. While The Ones Who Live might not get a second season, it sounds like this isn't the last time we'll see Rick and Michonne in action. Source: The Direct

Disney+ Series 'Eyes of Wakanda' Teaser Reveals Giant Spy Storyline In Breathtaking Visuals
Marvel Studios has debuted the first teaser for the upcoming Disney+ series, Eyes of Wakanda , giving fans a glimpse into the new show produced by Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther (2018) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022). 'Wakanda is a kingdom of many secrets,' the voiceover announces as the visually striking animation flashes across the screen. The 31-second video offers glimpses into the history of the fictional African country, showing the different great warriors through the ages. The animated series is graced by a high-profile voice ensemble with Cress Williams ( Black Lightning ) voicing the Lion, Winnie Harlow ( America's Next Top Model ) voicing Noni, as well as other confirmed voice actors including Gary Anthony Williams ( The Boondocks ), Anika Noni Rose ( Princess and the Frog) , Lynn Whitfield ( Greenleaf ), Steve Toussaint ( House of the Dragon ), Zeke Alton ( The Callisto Protocol ), Jona Xiao ( Raya and the Last Dragon ), Walles Hamonde ( Beetlejuice ), Aidan Bristow ( American Horror Story ), Gabriel Burrafato ( The Lincoln Lawyer ), Patricia Belcher ( Good Luck Charlie ), Larry Herron ( NCIS ), Adam Gold ( Game of Thrones: Kingsroad ), Jacques Colimon ( The Society ), and Isaac Robinson-Smith ( X-Men '97 ). Danai Gurira ( The Walking Dead ) is also set to reprise her role as Okoye. Eyes of Wakanda (2025) In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Todd Harris explained his vision of 'the interconnectivity of Marvel with the interconnectivity of history along with the interconnectivity of the human story'. According to Harris, the Disney+ series will showcase a large-scale espionage story that echoes through time, painting a thrilling spy story in the mysterious and grand backdrop that is Wakanda. Additionally, Harris revealed that the story will involve the Hatut Zaraze, which means 'Dogs of War' in the Wakandan language – an intelligence defence division that embarks on covert operations to discreetly retrieve Vibranium artefacts from the nation's adversaries. Eyes of Wakanda (2025) The production team has also revealed that the show will not only feature Wakandan operatives, but prominent characters such as Iron Fist will make appearances. With an exciting and potentially international lineup of characters that are poised to take the screen, fans can certainly look forward to a deeper and fascinating glimpse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in a series that Harris has touted to be a 'globe-trotting adventure'. Eyes of Wakanda will premiere on 27 August 2025 on Disney+. Conversation with Ting Wei is like chatting with a weird AI bot programmed only with One Piece lore and theories, sitcom quotes and other miscellaneous pop culture references. When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.
