Per the official logline for the as-yet-untitled show, which is set to premiere in 2024, “Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead… and ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive — or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?”

Deadline‘s sister site has confirmed that Brandt will appear in the series as Pearl Thorne, though character specifics are still a mystery.
