The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, or simply Daryl Dixon, is an American post-apocalyptic horror drama television series created by David Zabel for AMC, based on The Walking Dead character of the same name. It is the fifth spin-off and overall sixth television series in The Walking Dead franchise, sharing continuity with the other series and set after the conclusion of the original The Walking Dead television series.

Norman Reedus reprises his role as Daryl Dixon from the original The Walking Dead series. Reedus stars alongside Clémence Poésy, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Laïka Blanc-Francard, Anne Charrier, Romain Levi, Adam Nagaitis and Joel de la Fuente all of whom portray new characters. Development of the series began in September 2020, and its title was announced in October 2022. Filming began in Paris that month, with additional casting taking place starting in November. The first season was planned to feature the character Carol Peletier under the series title The Walking Dead: Daryl & Carol, but Carol was written out of the series due to logistical issues involving actress Melissa McBride.

The first season premiered on September 10, 2023, and consists of six episodes. In July 2023, the series was renewed for a second season. Titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, the second season features McBride as a series regular in a return to the show's original concept. The second season premiered on September 29, 2024. In July 2024, the series was renewed for a third season.

Premise

[edit]

Daryl washes ashore in France (the origin of the zombie virus[2]) and struggles to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan.

Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France and sets out to return to America. He suffers an arm wound upon encountering a new walker variant called "burners". Near Marseille, Daryl encounters Maribelle and her grandfather Guillaume. Henri and Michel, soldiers from a paramilitary group called Pouvoir des Vivants (Power of the Living), attack them and are killed before Maribelle and Guillaume rob Daryl and flee. The pair are caught by Michel's brother Codron, who kills Guillaume and seeks revenge on Daryl on the assumption he killed Michel. Isabelle, a nun for the Union de L'Espoir (Union of Hope), finds Daryl and takes him to her abbey for treatment. She introduces Daryl to Laurent, a young boy the Union believes is the Messiah destined to revive humanity; she believes Daryl is the messenger who must deliver Laurent to the Union contingent in Paris. He rejects the idea and leaves. Codron's men attack the abbey, killing most of the nuns, but Daryl returns and helps to fend off the assailants. Daryl agrees to help in exchange for Isabelle leading him to Le Havre. It's revealed that a Pouvoir ship transporting walker test subjects took Daryl from America, but he instigated a mutiny, destroyed their research and escaped. Genet, the leader of Pouvoir, orders that Daryl be found.

In the present, the group loses their mule and are captured by a group of children living in their old preschool with their dying teacher, Madame Dubois. Laurent makes friends with the children, who tell him the nuns are lying to him. Needing a horse, Daryl offers to get medicine for Dubois if one of the children, Lou, helps him raid a nearby castle owned by a man dubbed La Tarasque. Inside, Daryl confronts the man, revealed as an American from Texas named R.J. Gaines, and rescues a boy he has captured. Gaines falls into his own walker moat and is devoured, while the kids rescue Daryl. Meanwhile, Dubois has died, and Daryl encourages Lou to step up as their leader. Daryl's party leaves, but Laurent expresses frustration over secrets kept from him. Codron returns to the abbey where he finds Daryl's recorded message, a picture of Laurent and a map of the group's route to Paris.

With their help, Daryl seeks out information on a ship that can return him to America, which leads the group to the Demimonde nightclub and a reunion with Isabelle's ex-boyfriend Quinn. Quinn reveals that he is Laurent's father and demands that Isabelle and Laurent stay with him in exchange for his help. Daryl rejects the deal and prepares to set out on his own after an argument with Isabelle, leading to Laurent running away after overhearing them. Codron meets with Genet, who agrees to let him lead the search for Daryl while her people continue experimenting with walkers. Pouvoir attacks Fallou's community and Isabelle searches for Laurent, while Daryl falls through a roof following a brutal fight with Codron.

Genet begins a search for Laurent, seeking to eliminate him as he is a symbol of hope to people. As part of this, Genet makes a deal with Quinn who seeks Laurent in order to get Isabelle back. After escaping from a flooded building, and having a dream that a praying Laurent is ignored by a mob of walkers, Daryl encounters Antoine who is killed by guerriers, but he helps the dying man to free his pigeons. Reuniting with Isabelle, Daryl tracks Laurent to the ruins of the Eiffel Tower where the boy nearly falls victim to a herd. During the rescue, Laurent is kidnapped by Quinn's men and taken to Demimonde. With the help of a captive, whom he tortures and later abandons to walkers, Daryl sneaks into the nightclub and rescues Laurent while Fallou and his people create a distraction. Daryl overpowers Quinn while Quinn's girlfriend Anna—disgruntled by Quinn's obsession with Isabelle—lets Daryl and Laurent go. Having fallen in love with a member of Fallou's community named Emile, Sylvie decides to stay in Paris with him. Isabelle stays in Paris to get Quinn to help secure Daryl and Laurent's passage out of the city as Genet locks the city down. Daryl and Laurent leave Paris on a boat heading to the Nest, the Union's main base.

After Juno murders a young man whom Daryl was mentoring, an altercation between the two causes them to be put on the Pouvoir ship. Daryl and Juno work together to escape, but Juno is torn apart by one of Pouvoir's test subjects; the walker displays enhanced abilities similar to multiple variants. In the present, Isabelle struggles to adjust to being with Quinn again, even considering killing him with a knife. Isabelle receives a hidden message from Sylvie, Fallou, and Emile. Isabelle agrees to join a Pouvoir celebration with Quinn, only to have a jealous Anna betray them. Daryl, Laurent and Azlan continue their journey to the Nest, but Azlan is killed during a fight with several walkers. Before dying, he reveals that the Nest is at Mont-Saint-Michel, but Laurent cuts a rope and lets their boat float off, wishing to go to America with Daryl instead. The two and Quinn are captured by guerriers. Genet coerces Laurent into making a show of support at an event she holds, where Genet pits Daryl in a gladiator fight against one of her enhanced walkers; Genet, however, is unaware that Sylvie, Fallou and Emile have infiltrated the event.
66"Coming Home"Daniel PercivalJason Richman & Laura SnowOctober 15, 2023 (2023-10-15)0.688
After Daryl kills the walker, Daryl and Quinn, chained together, kill several enhanced walkers in the arena before Fallou kills the guerrier Genet ordered to shoot them. In the chaos that follows, the group escapes, with a bitten Quinn sacrificing himself to buy Daryl time, but he reanimates, forcing Laurent to put his biological father down with Daryl's encouragement. After going their separate ways from Fallou and Emile, Daryl's group resumes journeying towards Mont-Saint-Michel, but are attacked by Genet's men. Unable to kill a child, Codron shoots the other guerriers instead, promising to get revenge on Daryl later. Upon his return, Genet deduces Codron's betrayal and has him tortured for information. Daryl's group finally reaches the Nest where they settle in. Daryl becomes conflicted between staying in France and returning to America. Union of Hope leader Losang arranges passage to Newfoundland for Daryl, who chooses to leave despite Isabelle's comparing his abandoning Laurent to Daryl's abandonment by his own father. At the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, Daryl visits the grave of his grandfather, William T. Dixon, who died on D-Day. On Omaha Beach, Daryl prepares to board a boat, but hesitates when he sees Laurent secretly followed him and has a herd of walkers closing in on him.

71"La Gentillesse des Étrangers"[f]Greg NicoteroShannon GossSeptember 29, 2024 (2024-09-29)0.576[18]
Two weeks after choosing to save Laurent and stay in France for the time being, Daryl trains the boy in fighting the undead and clashes with Losang about his more violent ways compared to the Union of Hope's pacifism. Daryl struggles with a feeling of not belonging and missing those that he left behind in America. After Genet's troops capture Fallou and Emile, Daryl leads a raid and rescues them, although Genet manages to escape before he can shoot her. In Maine, Carol finds the auto repair shop where Daryl had collected walkers, recovers his lost crossbow, and forces the men to tell her that Daryl has been taken to France. Searching for a way to cross the ocean, Carol befriends Ash Patel. Ash, whose young son has died, owns a small plane; he obsessively stays on his property—which has a shrine to his son—rather than moving elsewhere. Even though Carol entered Ash's greenhouse without permission, Ash saves Carol from a walker attack. By playing on his sympathies and claiming that her daughter Sophia is in France, Carol convinces Ash to fly her to France so that she can search for Sophia. Ash and Carol fly away just as walkers overrun his compound during a power failure that lets them in the gate.

Hanna kills Eun, only to be killed by Ash, who was unaware Hanna had changed sides: Carol leaves him unaware. At the Nest, Daryl continues teaching Laurent baseball while offering to take him and Isabelle back to America. Laurent is suddenly kidnapped, causing Daryl, Isabelle, Fallou, and Emile to launch a rescue mission. Sylvie discovers that Laurent's kidnapping was just a ruse to get rid of Daryl in an ambush that fails. Before Isabelle kills him for his treachery, the traumatized Emile explains that Losang was worried Daryl would take Laurent away, and plans to test Laurent's potential immunity by having him publicly bitten. While waiting for low tide, Daryl and Isabelle kiss. Carol and Ash land at a race track outside Paris; Carol's search for Daryl leads to her being taken by Genet's people, who promise food to entice locals to join them.

Carol's friend Remy betrays her to save his husband, Julien, giving up the Nest's location to Genet. After Carol claims to be trying to kill Daryl, Genet agrees to work with her.

104"Le Paradis Pour Toi"[i]Michael SlovisJason Richman & David ZabelOctober 20, 2024 (2024-10-20)0.480[21]
Carol plays dead and escapes to the Nest in an ATV with Codron chained to the back for walkers to devour. Upon being released, Codron defends the Nest for Laurent's sake. After Isabelle refuses to tell Losang where to find Laurent and attacks him, he stabs her.

Tracking Laurent and Fallou, Daryl and Carol meet Theo and Didi, an elderly couple who provided the other two with a car. As Daryl works on getting another car running, Didi, who thinks Carol is Isabelle, offers Carol comfort about Carol's losses and mentions that Laurent said Daryl loves Isabelle. Theo betrays Daryl and Carol to Genet, leading to a battle where both Didi and Genet's forces are killed. Carol shoots Genet with her own Amper serum, resulting in Genet suffering a horrific death. With Genet dead, Sabine and Pouvoir turn to Losang who preaches "forgiveness" and unites the two factions in the hunt for Laurent, who will lead them to "the promised land".
115"Vouloir, C'est Pouvoir"[j]Daniel PercivalJason Richman & David ZabelOctober 27, 2024 (2024-10-27)0.504[22]
Daryl and Carol find Ash missing; a man caught in Ash's door-trap begs Daryl to euthanize him, and he does. Daryl breaks the news of Isabelle's death to Laurent. Convinced that he has brought, and will bring, death to his friends, Laurent refuses to go to America but later changes his mind. At the Demimonde, now run by Anna, Daryl and Carol learn that Pouvoir has fallen in the aftermath of Genet's death with some Guerriers joining Losang, but others working at the club. The duo tracks Ash to Maison Mère—which has also fallen—where he has become trapped by a herd and knocked unconscious while trying to get fuel for his plane. Daryl turns two zombified Guerriers into Ampers to get rid of the herd. A remorseful Codron surrenders to Fallou's community, revealing the Nest's fall to them and expressing his survivor's guilt and remorse to Laurent. When Losang shows up looking for Laurent, Codron helps him escape to the Demimonde while Fallou's people unanimously reject Losang; the crowd applauds as Fallou explains that if Laurent is needed as proof, then Losang lacks real faith. Losang appears at the Demimonde and pursues his quarry to the Catacombs of Paris. Codron kills Dr. Lafleur and defeats Jacinta, who survives; Daryl nearly loses to Losang but then brutally kills him with a skull before he and Codron finally make peace with each other. Anna provides the fuel that the plane needs but Ash, furious after Carol admits the truth, reveals that his plane holds only three people, meaning that someone must stay behind.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

The series was announced in September 2020 by Angela Kang and Scott M. Gimple. Reedus and McBride signed on to reprise their respective roles from the television series.[23]

In April 2022, McBride exited the series due to logistical reasons as the show was set to film in mid-2022 in Europe and it wasn't possible for McBride to be with the show with this setup. The series was reworked as a sole Daryl project.[24] Days later, Kang had left the role of showrunner and was replaced by David Zabel. The deal had reportedly been sealed in recent weeks before McBride's exit from the show.[25] In October, the series was given the title Daryl Dixon.[26] In January 2023, it was announced that the series would be titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and premiere later in 2023.[27]

In July 2023, ahead of the first season's release, the series was renewed for a second season.[28] The second season has the subtitle of The Book of Carol.[6] A third season was in development by February 2024.[29] In July 2024, the series was renewed for a third season. Unlike the first two seasons, it will be produced and set in Spain.[30]

Writing

[edit]

In September 2020, Kang was hired as showrunner after she had helmed the final three seasons of The Walking Dead.[23]

In April 2022, Kang stepped down due to other commitments and Zabel took the role. Scripts were already being written by this time but needed to be reworked following McBride's departure.[24] In September, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reedus explained that the series would be going an opposite direction from the main series having it being a completely different story from what we have already seen with Daryl.[3] The following month, Reedus said that there would be familiar faces from the main series in the spin-off.[31]

Casting

[edit]

In November 2022, Clémence Poésy and Adam Nagaitis were added to the main cast.[4] In February 2023, Anne Charrier, Eriq Ebouaney, Laïka Blanc-Francard, Romain Levi and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi were announced as additional cast members.[5] In June 2023, The Walking Dead alum Jeffrey Dean Morgan indicated in a tweet that Melissa McBride would reprise her role as Carol Peletier in some capacity.[32] In October 2023, at New York Comic Con, McBride was confirmed to return for the second season, as well as guest starring in the first season finale.[6]

In November 2023, Manish Dayal was announced to have joined the cast for the second season in a recurring role.[7]

In September 2024, Eduardo Noriega, Óscar Jaenada, and Alexandra Masangkay were announced to have joined the cast as series regulars for the third season while Candela Saitta and Hugo Arbues were cast in recurring roles.[33] In October, Stephen Merchant was announced to have joined the cast.[34]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography began on October 24, 2022, in Paris, France.[35] Filming for the second season continued during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike due to an agreement between AMC and SAG-AFTRA to resume production.[36] Filming for the second season wrapped on December 21, 2023.[37] Filming for the third season began in August 2024 in Madrid, Spain.[38]

Release

[edit]

The series premiered on September 10, 2023, on AMC and AMC+.[39] The first season was released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 13, 2024.[40] The second season, subtitled The Book of Carol, premiered on September 29, 2024.[41][10]

Reception

[edit]

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has received positive reviews from critics, with several calling it the best Walking Dead content in years, although some noted its similarities to The Last of Us television series.[42] On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 70% based on 40 reviews with an average rating of 8.15/10. The website's critics consensus is, "Centering Norman Reedus' fan favorite character in a fresh setting, Daryl Dixon can be a wobbly shot across the crossbow but still gives The Walking Dead faithful plenty more to chew on."[43] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, scored the first season 67 out of 100 based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[44]

David Opie of Digital Spy gave it a 4/5 rating and called it "The best Walking Dead has been in ages".[45] Chase Hutchinson of Collider gave it a "B" rating and applauded Norman Reedus' "stoic performance" that has a "renewed energy to the character and making the spin-off worth watching" and that the series "focuses more on character and emotion rather than empty spectacle, giving the story a greater sense of depth."[46] Aaron Pruner of TheWrap gave it a positive review and noted Clémence Poésy's "standout performance" and concluded that it "is a surprisingly gorgeous, soul-stirring, and riveting watch. Norman Reedus said they were making art with this show. And you know what? He wasn't lying."[47]

For the second season, 75% of 12 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were positive, with an average score of 6.5/10. The website's critics consensus is, "Bringing Carol back into the fold cuts into some of the elements that made this Walking Dead spinoff unique, but having Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride sharing the screen again will always be an undead treat."[15] Metacritic scored the second season 62 out of 100 based on 7 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[48]
