Pollyanna McIntosh is back as Jadis Stokes in the latest ‘The Walking Dead’ spinoff, ‘The Ones Who Live,’ premiering February 25 on AMC. This marks a historic moment as McIntosh becomes the first actor to star in three scripted ‘Walking Dead’ series. Jadis’s character has undergone a significant transformation throughout the series, evolving from the enigmatic leader of the Scavengers to a more complex and morally ambiguous figure.

Jadis’ journey has been one of the most dynamic in the ‘The Walking Dead’ Universe (TWDU). After disappearing with Rick Grimes in a Civic Republic Military helicopter, she re-emerged as a warrant officer for the CRM in ‘World Beyond,’ showcasing a darker side as she pursued her organization’s goals at any cost. Now, in ‘The Ones Who Live,’ her story takes even more unexpected turns.

McIntosh’s portrayal of Jadis has been praised for its depth and versatility. The actress herself has been excited about this leg of Jadis’ journey, having known about the character’s continuation for quite some time. Her return in ‘The Ones Who Live’ was eagerly anticipated, not just by her but by fans of the series.

In ‘The Ones Who Live,’ viewers can expect to see facets of Jadis from ‘World Beyond,’ but with new layers added to her character. She remains a committed follower of the CRM, yet the series hints at the complexity of her personality beyond her role. Her interactions with other characters, especially those from her past, are poised to add depth to the narrative.

The show also promises to be different from the original series regarding setting and locations while retaining the spirit of action, pathos, and love that has been a hallmark of ‘The Walking Dead.’ McIntosh’s reunion with Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and other cast members has been a highlight, bringing a sense of nostalgia and excitement to the set.

‘The Ones Who Live’ is set to explore new dimensions of the TWDU, offering fans a fresh perspective on familiar characters and introducing new challenges and storylines. With McIntosh’s Jadis at the forefront, the series is poised to be a thrilling addition to the ‘Walking Dead’ saga.
