The first episode titled "In Too Deep" will premiere on February 23, according to an IGN report. The miniseries will follow the story of Michonne after she disappeared in the comics storyline, revealing that the zombie hunter became a pirate and has taken her fight against the undead to sea. According to an Engadget report, the first episode shows Michonne on the ship "The Companion" which travels along the coastline looking for survivors and scavenging for supplies. The ship's crew is called to a floating survivor's colony where a massacre has just occurred. Michonne, together with the rest of the crew, must now find out what happened and catch the person responsible for the massacre.
While Michonne is trying her best to help her companions, the report also said that the miniseries will also reveal why Michonne left the rest of her group, namely Rick, Ezekiel and others, and why and how she will eventually come back to the fold.
