The Walking Dead's Danai Gurira on introducing rom-com fantasy to the zombie horror franchise in latest spin-off The Ones Who Live

Rick and Michonne in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live delivers all the action and zombie horror we've come to expect from the franchise over the last 14 years, while also going hard on romance. Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, who play Rick and Michonne, have made no secret of the fact that they wanted the spin-off to feel like a love story as well as an apocalyptic adventure – and one way they established that tone was through an imagined meet-cute between their characters. 

In the show's early episodes, Rick is seen dreaming about what it might have been like to meet Michonne in a pre-outbreak world. In the sequences, we see them strike up a conversation on a park bench, as a nervous Rick asks Michonne for directions to a nearby building ahead of his first day on a new job.
