AMC has confirmedThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonseason 2 release date, and unveiled two new images from the show that see Norman Reedus’s Daryl and Melissa McBride’s Carol in action.
It’s good news for fans across the pond, too, as Sky and NOW have announced they’ll be hosting the zombie horror-drama in line with its US launch. (The UK-based platforms recently aired Rick and Michonne-centric outingThe Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live).
Set some time after the events of The Walking Dead season 11, Daryl Dixon sees the eponymous survivor get washed up on a beach in Marseille – and quickly tasked by a nun to ferry Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), a young French boy believed to be some sort of super empathetic messiah, to a secret location in Northern France. Teaming up with Sister Isabelle (Clémence Poésy), Daryl accepts, setting him off on a perilous journey full of new burner zombies, a nefarious nightclub owner, and a power-hungry political leader.
McBride made a cameo in the final few minutes of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 1, which is available to stream now on AMC Plus. It’s evident she’s still on American soil, thanks to the sign for Freeport, Maine. The sequence sees her relentlessly pursue a man on a motorcycle. So it’ll be interesting to see how the post-apocalyptic besties cross paths again in the new batch of episodes.
