Netflix withdraws the highly-acclaimed mini-series, previously devoured by viewers within a day, deemed the top The Walking Dead spin-off.
The acclaimed spin-off of The Walking Dead, "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live," is set to depart from Netflix on August 19, 2025. This announcement marks the end of a successful run on the streaming platform, which has seen the series gain a devoted fanbase.
The mini-series, consisting of six episodes, explores the futures of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira), who were left with uncertain fates in the original series. The show has been praised for its well-written script, emotional depth, and outstanding performances, particularly Lincoln's portrayal of Rick Grimes.
Fans have declared "The Ones Who Live" as 'the best spinoff of the entire franchise' and the 'best Walking Dead content in years.' One viewer even went as far as to call it 'awesome.' Another compared it to the peak seasons of the original show. Passionate fans consider the series a '10/10.'
With a 76 percent rating across 1000 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" has proven to be a compelling watch, and it can be binged in one day.
The removal from Netflix is likely due to the expiration or termination of the streaming platform's licensing deal with the series' producer, AMC. This is not an unprecedented move, as other AMC shows like Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Dark Winds, Interview with the Vampire, and Mayfair Witches are also being removed around the same time.
Interestingly, another AMC series, The Walking Dead: Dead City, is not included in this removal and will remain available on Netflix for now.
If you have yet to watch "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live," make sure to catch it before it leaves Netflix on August 19, 2025. The series, which was only just added to Netflix in the US in January, is not to be missed.
