AMC Aims to Play Cupid With Valentine’s Day ‘Walking Dead’ Promo
variety.comBrian Steinberg Senior TV Editor What do Valentine’s Day and the ubiquitous zombies of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” have in common (other than a potential focus on the human heart)?

The creatures and the protagonists who try to stop them get an unlikely shout out Wednesday when AMC launches a new promo to tout “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live,” the third in a series of character-driven spin-offs that have launched since the end of the original series in 2022. “Ones” stars Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, one of the main series’ chief characters and Danai Guria as Michonne.
One of the chief elements of “Ones” is a love story between the two main characters, making February 14 a more likely day than one might have thought to call attention to the series.
