AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 is titled, The Book of Carol. And just like the name suggests, it will feature the return of Melissa McBride to the series, this time as a series regular.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 also marks McBride joining the show as an Executive Producer. In an exclusive interview with SK POP, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi (Laurent) and Eriq Ebouaney (Fallou) discussed a variety of subjects about Season 1.
As one would expect, the two were tight-lipped about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2. That said, both confirmed that, in their opinion, it will be very good.

Eriq Ebouaney and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi are excited to work with Melissa McBride in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2
Both cast members seemed stoked about potentially working with Melissa McBride in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2. Scigliuzzi gushed about her appearance in the season finale:
"I was excited about it, you know. A new person from The Walking Dead. The original series coming into the show. And she’s really good. She’s really, really good. And I think I was mostly excited. To work with her, I mean I can’t wait."
Carol and Daryl are many miles away from each other at the time that Season 1 concludes. Ebouaney hopes that the two characters meet at some point in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 or beyond:
"It’s a strong character. I mean her part is a strong character. They are close friends. Hopefully, they will meet each other again. You never know. But I don’t know. I don’t know anything but she’s a super woman. I’m looking forward to seeing it. Wait and see. You’ll be blown away."
He added:
"I think she is a bad*ss. And she will be a bad*ss more and more for the following episodes."
Scigliuzzi echoed the sentiment:
"Yeah, I’d say that too."
There is a point where Laurent almost seems to hypnotize Romain Levi (Codron). We asked the 12-year-old star who plays him to shed some light on the same. He said:
"We’re not sure yet. We’re definitely going to find out soon, maybe. But I think it had an impact on Codron the character."
As for what fans can expect in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2, he had a very concise answer:
"You’re going to like it."
Ebouaney seemed to be almost bursting with excitement as he previewed Season 2:
"Wait and see. You’ll be blown away. Season 2 is coming."
SK POP also asked Scigliuzzi what he felt when he learned that Quinn (Adam Nagaitis) was Laurent's father. Like most fans, he was absolutely stunned:
"I didn’t expect that. I really didn’t. I thought he was going to be this character that knows Isabelle through simple coincidence. But no, he’s really Laurent’s father. And I mean Laurent wasn’t really sure at the point. He didn’t seem shocked but I’m sure…100%...he was."
