Daryl used to be one of the core members of Rick Grimes’ group during the original series. A skilled hunter with sharply honed survival skills, he survived until the end of that series and ultimately departed the Commonwealth for parts unknown. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon reveals that during his travels, he was captured and taken to Paris.

Norman Reedus’ best-known role remains that of Daryl Dixon. Aside from that, he’s starred as Sam Porter Bridges in Hideo Kojima’s video game Death Stranding and its sequel and he is also set to star in the upcoming John Wick spin-off, Ballerina.

Carol was also a member of Rick Grimes’ group back during the 2010 series. A close friend of Daryl’s, she began searching for him in America after she lost all contact with him.

Melissa McBride has played the character of Carol since the original 2010 television series. She’s also known for her roles in Walker, Texas Ranger, and Dawson’s Creek.

3) Clémence Poésy as Isabelle Carriere

Isabelle is a nun in a progressive religious movement who becomes Daryl’s acquaintance. She has a close relationship with her nephew, Laurent, who she considers to be a messiah.

Clémence Poésy is a French actress who has played Fleur Delacour in the Harry Potter films, Chloë in 2008’s In Bruges, and Elise Wasermann in Sky TV’s The Tunnel.

Laurent is Isabelle’s nephew who’s highly intelligent for his age. He is considered by religious zealots to be a living messiah who will lead making into an “age of renewal.” Daryl is apprehensive of this belief and considers the people revering him as suffering from maladaptive coping towards the apocalypse.

Louis Puech Scigliuzzi is a child actor, with The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon being one of his first major screen acting credits.
