EJ Moreno video chats with actress/playwright Danai Gurira…
Even with The Walking Dead entering more than a decade on television, the show is still finding new stories to tell and more drama to unfold. One of the best new tales comes from The Ones Who Live, a spin-off centered on the iconic pair of Rick Grimes and Michonne. We spoke to the star (and writer!) Danai Gurira for its Sky and NOW premiere.
When asked about rebuilding that relationship with Andrew Lincoln, Gurira praises their bond. “That’s the nature of chemistry; you can’t really build it, you can’t really plan it. When it does occur, you go, ‘Oh, what’s that, what’s going on?.'” Adding, “You can’t manufacture it. So, yeah, we did feel reconnected.”
As fans of the beloved couple known as Richonne know, it’s effortless to watch the pair. Check what Gurira says about the relationship, as well as writing an episode for the series.
