On October 19, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon—The Book of Carol was featured in a panel at the 2024 PaleyFest event. Moderator Josh Wigler talked with the cast and creatives of The Walking Dead spinoff.
Attendees were treated to sneak peek of the fourth episode of the season one day before it aired on AMC and AMC+. This was followed by a break down of the episode and series.

"One of the most satisfying hours of The Walking Dead I've seen in years."Scott M. Gimple
- Gimple began stating that he had avoided using running walkers for years, but Zabel finally broke him down, and it was terrific.
- Zabel stated this episode was a crucial turning point in the season and the show, referring to the long-awaited reunion between Carol and Daryl.
- Scigliuzzi, absent from this episode, talked about the good vibes on set and said he is always happy filming this series.
- McBride stated it was great fun reuniting with Reedus after three years.
- Gimple compared Daryl and Carol's recent reunion to the one at Terminus (which I discuss here). He believes it is similar, but the Daryl Dixon series scene is much more emotional.
- McBride talks about Carol being a badass.
- There is also a discussion about the reasons for the recent deaths in this episode.
- Future of The Walking Dead Universe.
- Why filming for Daryl Dixon has moved to Spain.
