Daryl Dixon season 2
TWD: Daryl Dixon greatly expands The Walking Dead universe by continuing Daryl's story in an overseas adventure to France. This series introduced many new and exciting characters as Daryl initially began his journey back to the United States after being washed ashore in France.
He first encounters Isabelle (Clémence Poésy), a nun who believes her nephew Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), due to the circumstances of his birth, is the one who will save humanity. They are part of a group known as The Union of Hope, who come against The Power of Living, a political organization lead by Genet (Anne Charrier).
The end of the first season featured the return of Carol to the storyline as she begins her search for Daryl, who, after promising to return to the Commonwealth within a week, never arrives. Her story will be further explored in season 2, The Book of Carol.
Talking with Entertainment Weekly, McBride discusses Carol's headspace as she begins her new journey. She states that Carol will differ from the woman viewers know from the main series.
"She is determined. But it’s a different type of fearlessness that’s driven by her determination to find her friend — and also by the headspace that we find Carol in, which will be revealed."
- Melissa McBride
Reedus, who has stated that the season finale of season 2 is the best hour of Walking Dead viewing EVER, add more regarding Carol and the second season of the series.
"There’s a lot of action in season 2. There’s a lot of business and a lot of very heartfelt moments. There’s also a lot of hero stuff with Melissa. It’s beautiful."
- Norman Reedus
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol six-part season 2, will premiere on AMC and AMC+ beginning September 29 at 9 p.m. ET.
