The upcoming limited series promises action-packed episodes and exciting new developments for the franchise at large. With the release date approaching, AMC has released the first full-length trailer for the series, providing fans with a glimpse of what's to come.
What The One Who Live Trailer Reveals About The Show
The new trailer confirms that the series will pick up after The Walking Dead series finale, which sees Rick being picked up by a CRM helicopter with Michonne hot on his trail. The episodes will see both characters on their own quests to reunite with each other, with major obstacles standing in their way.
One of these obstacles is the massive walker horde that Michonne encounters while on horseback. Rick will also have his own problems to deal with in the form of the CRM, touted as the 'most powerful military on the planet'. The latest trailer provides a new look at other members of The Ones Who Live's cast, including Terry O'Quinn as Major General Beale, one of the series' primary antagonists. Other cast members include Lesley Ann-Brandt and Frankie Quinones, with Pollyanna McIntosh's returning character, Jadis, also briefly featured.
The new trailer also teases that The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will feature some big set piece moments, including missile attacks by military aircraft, gas bomb explosions, and a collapsing building. Some impressive walker designs are also shown off in the new footage, which includes a formidable type of fire walker. The latest trailer is certainly an exciting tease of what's to come when the show premieres on February 25.
The Villain and Exciting Teasers
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, O'Quinn provides more details about his villainous character, revealing that he commands a force of 2,000 elite soldiers and will do whatever it takes to ensure his community's survival.
