Why You Can Trust CNET How to Watch 'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live' From Anywhere
The latest TWD spin-off continues Rick and Michonnes Grimes' zombie apocalypse-hampered love story.
Much like the zombies that inhabit the franchise, The Walking Dead series refuses to die. Its latest spinoff show, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, is hitting screens with another helping of apocalyptic undead drama.
This latest installment of the hugely popular franchise sees the return of two of its most-loved characters, with the reunion of Rick and Michonne Grimes following their dramatic separation in season 9 of TWD.
Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira both make their long-awaited returns to the lead roles in what had originally been envisioned as a big-screen movie but instead has materialized as a six-episode TV series.
Rick had been presumed dead following his exit from the show, but this new spinoff is set to explain what the former sheriff's deputy has been up to, while also seeing him hitch back up with Michonne. With the pair thrust into a different environment, the couple will deal with more than just walkers as threats. The show will also answer the question as to whether the reunited pair return as lovers, friends, zombie-slaying partners or enemies.

Quick tips for streaming 'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live' using a VPN
- With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming episodes may vary.
- If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
- If you're having trouble watching after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite the fact that you're using a VPN, so be sure you choose a privacy-first browser to log in to your services. We normally recommend Brave.
