This will replace the Rick Grimes movies which were planned but met with several delays. Rick of course was last seen taken by CRM after being badly wounded, he didn't show up in the World Beyond series (although his rescuer, Jadis, did). Michonne uncovered clues she was still alive and set on her own, leaving their children (Rick Jr.-who Rick probably doesn't know about-and Judith) under the care of Daryl.

It'll be a limited series apparentally. We're also getting the Maggie/Negan spinoff and a Daryl one (but without Carol as Melissa Mcbride can't commute to Europe).
