"And to show Rick and Michonne, we had to show them in circumstances that they're in. "To finish the story of The Walking Dead, we needed Rick and Michonne," Gimple continued during his interview with EW. The moment of Rick surrounding to the CRM, for example, actually unfolds before Michonne travels to Bloodsworth Island in Season 10. Kang confirmed to Insider that the dual narratives take place in separate timelines. Michonne rides across the zombie-infested wasteland, looking for her man, while Rick finds himself captured by the enigmatic Civic Republic Military. In terms of the coda itself, the epilogue flits between the two lovers as they somberly reflect on the people they've either lost or left behind over the years. And yeah, we poured over what was said and what was shot and certainly the relationship to stories in the future, but luckily, we knew a lot of where this was going." This wasn't tons of footage to go through," he said. As Gimple told EW, the Rick and Michonne bits were shot with "a smaller crew" on a condensed timeline. Lincoln and Gurira didn't come aboard until "very late in the game," which meant their scenes had to be filmed after production on Season 11 had already wrapped. "I had a different wish for what we could see, but that's so dependent on universe things and, at that time, the movie was still possibly being made and so it was complicated and everybody's like, 'Yep. Turning this idea into a reality, however, took some finagling, given the fact that "there were all these moving pieces in the universe," Kang added. During a conversation with Insider, she stated that one of those "pieces" was the now-defunct Rick Grimes film trilogy. But I'm putting it out there that this is the ideal version,'" she explained. I know that there are all these universe implications where I don't have total control. "From the first pitch I did for the ending of the series, I said to the network and the producers, 'Hey, I really feel in my heart of hearts that the show is not going to feel totally complete unless we have Rick and Michonne back. Gimple has described as "an epic and insane love story." Speaking with Entertainment Weeklyabout the big reveal, outgoing showrunner and executive producer Angela Kang admitted that she wanted to incorporate both characters into the Season 11 swan song from the very start. With the duo taking center stage in their very own spinoff on AMC+ next year, it only made sense to set the stage for what TWD brand manager Scott M. Fans of The Walking Dead rejoiced last night when the series finale brought back a pair of fan favorite characters - Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) - for a brief epilogue sequence.
