The Walking Dead star Danai Gurira has confirmed the Rick and Michonne spinoff is one step closer to hitting our screens.
Currently in pre-production, the upcoming series in the zombie survivalist franchise will follow protagonist Rick Grimes (Love Actually's Andrew Lincoln) and fierce katana-wielding Michonne (Black Panther's Danai Gurira) as the post-apocalyptic couple try to find each other.
Gurira has shared three snaps with her co-star Lincoln and The Walking Dead's chief content officer Scott M Gimple, returning on showrunning duties for the spinoff.

"#Richonne spin-off. 2023. Pre-production is in full swing. We're getting there!" the actress captioned the pictures.
Gimple previously weighed in on the six-episode spinoff, promising a "mind-blowing" new outing in the Walking Dead universe.
"These are two people that have been separated for a very long time. They've lived whole other existences and they have to find themselves again, let alone each other. It's hopefully going to be mind-blowing," the showrunner said at the AMC Networks Summit in New York in September last year.

But the Rick and Michonne series isn't the only spinoff The Walking Dead has spawned throughout the year.
Alongside the prematurely axed The Walking Dead: World Beyond, Fear the Walking Dead and the newly released Tales of the Walking Dead, fans will be treated to three other upcoming shows.
The Richonne spinoff aside, AMC also has a Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) spinoff titled Dead City in store as well as a series following Daryl Dixon's (Norman Reedus) solo adventure in Europe.
The Walking Dead aired on AMC in the US and STAR on Disney+ in the UK.
