Exclusive Interview – Danai Gurira talks chemistry with Andrew Lincoln and writing on The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live

June 1, 2024 by EJ Moreno

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.

Check out the full video interview below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

Starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live sees the return of beloved TWD 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.

All episodes of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live are now available on Sky and NOW.
