The Walking Dead season 11 finale teased a little of what's to come with Rick finding himself on a muddy shore, discarding his boots, journal, and the phone Michonne discovered in The Walking Dead's 10th season. A helicopter later descends on Rick, asking him to surrender.
In a different place (and different time, too), Michonne is on the hunt for Rick on horseback. The pair, then, appear to be on a collision course ahead of their six-episode series, which is set to air sometime next year.
