September 10, 2023, marks the premiere of the eagerly awaited The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon series. AMC+ subscribers can watch beginning at 3 a.m. ET and AMC will air the debut episode at 9 p.m. ET. The cast of the series is just as excited as the fans and has commemorated the day with many social media posts.
The new series is the second direct spinoff, the fifth overall, of The Walking Dead, which focuses on Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus). Daryl finds himself a stranger in a strange land and immediately sets his plan in motion to return home.
In a teaser, Daryl states that a series of bad decisions led him to France. When he was last seen during the season finale of the main series, he said his goodbyes and set out to find Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Dania Gurira). Did he come too close to finding Rick, and the CRM sent him overseas? Only time will tell the truth of how and why Daryl is in France.
