In the new series, Daryl faces old demons, recalling the circumstances that landed him in France. Isabelle’s sacrifice forces her to consider drastic measures. Genet commences a celebration for the people of Paris.

The plot of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is as follows: “After Daryl Dixon’s departure from The Commonwealth, a capsized Daryl washes ashore in France and struggles to piece together how he got there and why. His arrival in France raises the ire of leaders within a splintered, but growing autocratic movement centered in Paris, and endangers a young boy at the heart of a benevolent religious movement called the Union of Hope.”

“Daryl agrees to shepherd the child and his caretakers on their pilgrimage to The Nest, a sanctuary which promises safety, in return for the Union’s help securing him passage back to America.”

“The series tracks Daryl’s journey, fighting his way through the unique Walker strains and provincial violence of France – conflicts rooted in both pre-walker personal histories and the deep history of France. Along the way, Daryl will find his steadfast desire to return home complicated by the new connections he forms and the renewed sense of hope these relationships give him.”
