The Walking Dead Universe* finds new UK home on Sky – with The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live coming exclusively from this month

The Walking Dead Universe is coming to Sky and streaming service NOW as part of a long-term partnership with AMC Networks. Sky have announced that all episodes of hotly anticipated spinoff series The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will be released exclusively on Sky and NOW from Friday 31 May.

Fans of the franchise will also be able to binge all eleven series of the original post- apocalyptic horror The Walking Dead from Sunday 19 May, with franchise spin-offs including The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and The Walking Dead: Dead City coming to both Sky and NOW later this year.

Starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live sees the return of beloved The Walking Dead characters “Rick Grimes” and “Michonne” in an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance and an unstoppable power. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before?

The series also stars Pollyanna McIntosh, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Terry O’Quinn, Matthew August Jeffers, Craig Tate, Breeda Wool and Andrew Bachelor, among others. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is executive produced by Showrunner Scott M. Gimple, Lincoln, Gurira, Denise Huth, Brian Bockrath and Greg Nicotero.

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.”
