What the Daryl Dixon spinoff is about

As the teaser suggests, Daryl somehow ends up in Paris, which is in ruins after the Zombie apocalypse took over the world. The show was initially set to be about the reunion of Daryl and Carol, but plans changed when Melissa McBride decided to exit the series.

Now, viewers will see Daryl stroll across Paris while trying to survive and figure out how he got there and what’s the reason behind it. Fulfilling his goal, he will find a way back home.

While coming up with his plan, he will also be meeting a lot of new faces as the upcoming series stars Clemence Poesy, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Adam Nagaitis, Laika Blanc Francard, Anne Charrier, Romain Levi, and Eriq Ebouaney, besides Norman Reedus.

According to the logline for the show:

“Daryl washes ashore in France 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.”

The spinoff has been created by Angela Kang.

More seasons of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon incoming?

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer and director Greg Nicotero mentioned that the series isn’t necessarily an extension of the previous stories.

"The goal isn't just to see Daryl in exotic and new locations, but to explore a wholly different world,” he said.

The director further said that other shows such as Station Eleven and The Last of Us have proven that viewers enjoy survival stories. So to continue building up this universe, we might be seeing AMC give this spinoff multiple seasons after introducing new faces to take it forward.
