So What Is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon About?
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon sees fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon wash up in France, a long way from where we left him at the end of Season 11 of The Walking Dead. While Daryl initially intends to make his way back to the Commonwealth, he quickly becomes involved in the lives and struggles of the people he meets in Europe, even agreeing to protect and escort a young boy named Laurent to safety.
Who’s In the Cast of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon?
Norman Reedus, the actor who brought the beloved Daryl Dixon to life in the original Walking Dead series, will once again be reprising the role. This is far from Reedus’s first post-apocalyptic rodeo, as in addition to playing Daryl in The Walking Dead franchise, Reedus also starred in the Hideo Kojima video game Death Stranding where Reedus played Sam Bridges, a porter who travels a devastated earth, bringing supplies to desperate colonists. Reedus also stars in the AMC reality series Ride with Norman Reedus, which has been running since 2016 and shows Reedus traveling America on his motorcycle and learning about biker culture. The earliest news about the Daryl Dixon Walking Dead series stated that it would costar Melissa McBride and focus on the friendship between Daryl and Carol Peletier. Unfortunately by April 2022, it was reported that McBride would not be joining the show due to scheduling conflicts, resulting in the series being reworked to focus solely on Daryl. However, it now appears that McBride and her beloved character of Carol will make at least a brief appearance in the series after all, causing Carol and Daryl fans everywhere to rejoice.
French actress Clémence Poésy will also star In The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. She will be playing the character of Isabelle, a religious woman with a mysterious past who works with Daryl. English-speaking audiences are likely most familiar with Poésy from her roles as Fleur Delacour in the Harry Potter Franchise, Chloe from In Bruges, and Barbara from Christopher Nolan’s 2020 film Tenet. Also starring is Adam Nagaitis who will be playing Quinn, a club owner who has risen in power in post-apocalyptic France. Nagaitis has previously been in the HBO series Chernobyl and also played Adam in the Ridley Scott film The Last Duel. Anne Charrier, Laika Blanc Francard, Romain Levi, and Eriq Ebouaney also star, as does Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, who’s playing Laurent, the boy Daryl is protecting.
Who Is Making The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon?
David Zabel serves as showrunner for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, taking over after Angela Kang stepped down in pre-production. Kang remains on as an executive producer. Daryl Dixon should be in good hands with Zabel who is also the showrunner for the long-running medical drama ER. Zabel also worked as the showrunner for the series Mercy Street, which focused on nurses during the Civil War.
