The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is heading to Sky and NOW exclusively in the UK.

The series will premiere on Sky Max and NOW on Friday 31st May and will see the return of beloved TWD characters Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) in an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before?

The horror spin-off co-stars Pollyanna McIntosh, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Terry O’Quinn, Matthew August Jeffers, Craig Tate, Breeda Wool and Andrew Bachelor. Sky’s acquisition of the UK TV rights marks a long-term partnership with AMC Networks.

Indeed, all 11 seasons of the original post-apocalyptic horror The Walking Dead will arrive on Sky and NOW from 19th May. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will also come to both Sky Max and NOW exclusively in August, followed by The Walking Dead: Dead City, another exclusive, later this year. Season 2 of Daryl Dixon and Dead City will follow in 2025.

“We are delighted to have found a new home for The Walking Dead Universe in the UK. As we enter an exciting new chapter in the evolution of this franchise, with three new eagerly awaited, character-driven series, Sky is the perfect, premium home for UK viewers to embrace all things Walking Dead,” said Mike Pears, executive vice president of distribution and content sales for AMC Networks. “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is the most successful series in the history of AMC+, even including the original series, so it is fitting that it will lead the way as Sky brings this entire universe to U.K. fans in the coming weeks and months on Sky and NOW.”

Lucy Criddle, Sky Director of Acquisitions and Strategic Projects, commented on the news: “The Walking Dead Universe has a huge and ardent UK fanbase and we know audiences on Sky and NOW will be buzzing to see Rick Grimes and Michonne reunited in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, as well as being able to dip into the wider universe, enjoying all 11 seasons of the original The Walking Dead series, as well as new spin-offs Daryl Dixon and Dead City.”
