Speaking on the Talking Dead podcast, Scott revealed that he’s “been working on it very, very deeply with Danai and with Andy, and we continue to work on it pretty much every day together with some Walking Dead vets and some great new voices.”

As what the show will essentially be about, he says that “it’s an epic love story, but it’s an epic and insane love story.”

“These are two people that have been separated for a very long time. They’ve lived whole other existences, and they have to find themselves again, let alone each other. It’s hopefully going to be mind-blowing.”

Scott continued, saying that fans will “see this incredible power couple, but we also see that Red Machete Rick. It kind of goes coast to coast that way, between the intimate and the epic and the insane.”

According to the show’s official summary, the untitled spinoff will pick up six years after a severely injured Rick disappeared aboard a Civic Republic Military helicopter. Following Rick’s disappearance, Michonne set about to find her partner and return him home to their children.

The show is set for a 2023 premiere on AMC+.
