After a break of over five years, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) will be back in a few weeks as the main character of The Walking Dead series. The spin-off The Ones Who Live will finally resolve many unanswered questions that have been building up since his disappearance from the original series.
The titles of the first episodes indicate how important The Ones Who Live will be for the overall story of The Walking Dead with a special reference to the beginning of the zombie saga to surprise.
The Rick series is reminiscent of the beginning of The Walking Dead
After US critics received the first three episodes of the series in advance in the past few days, the first episode titles have now found their way online. On their own, these don’t seem particularly exciting. But together they make a promising reference to the episode that started it all over 12 years ago.
“Days Gone Bye” was the English title of the very first The Walking Dead episode, which was published in this country under the name “Good Old Times”. The Ones Who Live promises a new beginning for the post-apocalyptic epic with “Years Gone Bye”.

It makes a lot of sense that the first episode is titled “Years.” Not only have years passed since fans last saw Rick. There are too Many years have passed within The Walking Dead storysince he was separated from his wife Michonne (Danai Gurira).
So we can assume that episode 1 will probably first fill this period of more than 6 years. Because what we already know: In the presence of the spin-off, Rick has long since changed sides.
The reference to the beginning of the original series has another special meaning for Rick Grimes. He woke up from his coma in the pilot episode and found himself in a completely different world. The Ones Who Live could begin the next chapter of its story in a similar way. Because Rick finds himself once again in an environment that is unfamiliar to him: the Civic Republic in Philadelphia.
