Norman Reedus' Daryl Dixon is back again in a new spin-off called The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon which will cover his journey to France; a place he had never thought of visiting.
The miniseries premiered on AMC on September 10, 2023. As of now, all six episodes from the first season have been critically acclaimed by viewers who were keen to watch their favorite character in a totally different setting. AMC had renewed the series for a second season even before the first season had started airing, much to the delight of the fans.
When does The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 come out?
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 will premiere on AMC on September 29, and will be available to stream on AMC+. Shooting for Season 2 wrapped in late December 2023, with Eriq Ebouaney, who plays Fallou Boukar, confirming this on Instagram.
There is already some buzz around Season 3! This is what Scott M. Gimple, the executive producer recently had to say:
and then we're just starting up on Dead City Season 2, and Daryl Dixon Season 3, so, yeah. We're really excited to be telling these stories and they couldn't be any more different.
What is the plot of Daryl Dixon Season 2?
Season 2 continues the action right from where The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon ended, driving the saga of fan-favorite Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) as they engage with past traumas—Carol on a quest to find her friend and Daryl grappling with his decision about whether he's staying in France, causing tension at Nest.
Meanwhile, Genet gambits to escalate her movement, forcing Pouvoir into a brutal clash with the Union of Hope as the fight for France's future accelerates.
The first season ended with Daryl fighting off walkers on the beaches of Normandy where he was supposed to board a boat back to America. Instead, Season 2 finds him stuck in France. The big question is: Will Carol be the one bringing him home, or will Isabelle and Laurent give him reasons to stay in France?
The teaser is dominated by Carol in rough situations, including a close shot where she sits in a car surrounded by Walkers. The next scene shows blood splattered on the windshield of the car while Carol fights off the Walkers.
Daryl also pops up briefly with one scene on his motorcycle, and the other depicting him stepping into a room with a gun ready at his side.
Who is in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2?
Several stars from The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 1 will be returning. Apart from Reedus reprising his role, Melissa McBride will be back as Carol.
The second season has returning supporting characters such as Laurent played by Louis Puech Scigliuzzi and Sylvie played by Laika Blanc Francard.
Deadline further reported in November 2023 that Manish Dayal, of The Resident fame, has been added to the cast for Season 2. He'll be playing Ash, a Boston native and former engineer trying to make his way through life in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
