The Return of Jadis: What to Expect in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
A new image from The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live has revealed the return of a key villain from the main series with important connections to Rick Grimes. The franchise protagonist was taken away from his Virginia community in season 9 by Jadis, a member of the CRM who took him away in a helicopter after he sustained life-threatening injuries. The mysterious antagonist was confirmed to be returning alongside Rick and Michonne in the upcoming spinoff series. Entertainment Weekly has released a new image of Jadis from the upcoming The Ones Who Live. The new photo sees her standing in what appears to be a swamp-like, forested location, looking angry about something unclear. Jadis was first introduced as an undercover CRM agent, collecting survivors for unknown reasons while grouping them into 'A' and 'B' categories. While she made her first appearance on the initial show, her character was expanded upon in The Walking Dead: World Beyond season 2. There, it was revealed she had become a warrant officer within the group, rising to a high position that she implies had to do with her capturing Rick. Since Jadis will have a role to play in The Ones Who Live's Rick return, it's clear she will have a major role to play in the upcoming series. Although she was last seen in an antagonistic role, it's likely she'll be the familiar face that guides Rick through the CRM. While this doesn't mean the pair will form a friendly bond, her appearance would be an easy way for information about the giant group to be delivered. Despite her return, though, it appears The Ones Who Live has a new villain in form of Major General Beale, a figure teased in a short trailer for the spinoff. It's possible the two antagonists will just be two of many threats Rick and Michonne will have to fave as they try to get home. Given Jadis' own rocky morality, though, there's also a chance she will assist them in their mission if she sees it's to her benefit.

With the news of her return alongside Rick and Michonne in the spinoff series, it's evident that she will have a major role to play in The Ones Who Live.

Despite Jadis' return, the upcoming series introduces a new villain in the form of Major General Beale, as teased in a short trailer. It is possible that these two antagonists will be among the many threats that Rick and Michonne will encounter as they attempt to return home. Given Jadis' complex morality, there is also the possibility that she may choose to assist them in their mission if it serves her own interests.
