By Renee Hansen
The latest episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon airs on AMC and AMC+ at 9 p.m. ET on October 15. The previous episode ended on a significant cliffhanger with Daryl being put in Genet’s (Anne Charrier) arena against a new super walker. Since this is Daryl’s series and it has been renewed for a second season, viewers know he wins, but how?
This week, the season finale of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon airs on AMC and AMC+. The episode is titled “Coming Home” and was written by Jason Richman and Laura Snow, with Daniel Percival directing.
The final chapter of season 1 nicely ties things up for this season while also setting things up for the upcoming second season. The second season will premiere in 2024 and, to the delight of many fans, will see the return of Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season finale
Interestingly, this series is the one most fans weren’t excited about. But it has proved to be one of the best additions to The Walking Dead universe.
The addition of variants or super walkers has been something the franchise has needed. In the Daryl Dixon series, there have been burner walkers who ooze blood that burns humans on contact, and Daryl was even burned by a touch from one of these walkers. The super walkers are test subjects injected with something that changes them into beings with super strength and speed. Daryl was pitted against one of these super walkers at the end of the last episode.
Below is a sneak peek at the last episode of the season.
Codron (Romaine Levi) wants revenge for his brother’s death at the hands of Daryl. Will this variant give Daryl a run for his money? Or will he use the skills viewers know he possesses to take it out?
Isabelle prays for Daryl’s safety as she and Laurent are forced to watch the fight. Laurent, who has excellent intuition, tells her Daryl will win.
What’s next for Daryl and his mission to return home to the United States? The Union of Hope has promised they will assist Daryl in returning home if he delivers Laurent to The Nest. Can he accomplish this task successfully?
