Together, Rick and Michonne can burn the whole world down… or save it. AMC released the final The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live trailer and new key art, featuring Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) doing just that — burning down anything and everything that stands between the Richonne reunion years in the making. On one side, the dead. On the other side, the living: the Civic Republic Military, the seemingly unstoppable force and “last light of the world” that CRM Lieutenant Colonel Donald Okafor (Craig Tate) warns is “the most powerful military on the planet.”
Below is the official synopsis for The Walking Dead Rick and Michonne show and the just-released key art.

“These two characters were separated as we know, or don’t, but theywere separated. So we’re bringing them back together but we don’t knowhow,” Gurira said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.“We’ve lost Rick Grimes, we don’t know where he’s been, what’s happenedto him. [Michonne] never doubted that he might still be alive, so we’llsee.”
Gurira added: “A lot of pieces of the puzzle are gonna be figured out.”
