No, Daryl doesn't die in The Walking Dead. Daryl Dixon survives and live in the series where almost everyone dies. He became an instant fan favorite, and because of that, fans started a campaign called “If Daryl dies, we riot.” So it was tough for the showrunners to kill off Daryl as they didn’t want to see a decline in their viewership.

And it was a great decision by the showrunners, as Daryl’s character helped the series to become a major hit and have a cult following.

Daryl Dixon is one of the main characters of the show; he is a survivor of the post-apocalyptic and zombie-ravaged United States. He made his first appearance in the third episode of season one, titled ‘tell it to the frogs.’ Daryl is shown to be a cocky redneck in the beginning but later becomes a better person in the span of the series; his character development is regarded as one of the best character developments in TV history.

Dixon is a caring person and a grey character. He is also a brilliant marksman and a tracker. Unlike other few characters in the series, Daryl is not adapted from the comics; actually, he didn’t even exist in the comics, yet he became a big fan favorite because of the writing of the show and a brilliant portrayal by Norman Reedus.

What happens to Daryl at the end of The Walking Dead?

After setting peace in The Commonwealth and arresting Governor Pamela Milton with the help of his friends and General Micheal Mercer, Daryl returned to Alexandria and gained some sort of peace and happiness. After a leap of one year, viewers get to see that Daryl is living happily with his friends, but after some time, he chooses to leave for a while to find other communities and find the lost answers related to this zombie plague. He says his goodbyes to his friends and his best friend Carol, which is one of the most emotional scenes in the history of the series as they both share a very special bond.

No, Daryl’s story is not yet finished. There are a few loose ends to tie up in his journey in order to give him a worthy farewell. In the series finale titled “Rest in Peace,” Daryl says all his goodbyes and leaves Alexandria in order to find new communities and lost answers to the zombie plague so that the world returns to some kind of normalcy.

His journey will be explored in his own upcoming untitled spin-off, which is filmed and set in France. Earlier, Melissa McBride, who plays Carol, was going to be part of the spin-off and play a major role, but McBride couldn’t participate in the series as she was facing difficulty flying off the US and shooting in France, so her character was written off the spin-off, and only Reedus is set to star. The spin-off series will premiere on AMC in 2023.
