Check out how the team behind AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol brought Season 2 Episode 2: “Moulin Rouge” to life.

Though we’re saving our thoughts on S02E02: “Moulin Rouge” and how our attitude towards the series has shifted dramatically in light of long-term plans (we’ll leave that as a cliffhanger for now) until Monday, we didn’t want Sunday night to go by without having a little something to pass along from AMC’s Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol)-starring The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol. In the featurette waiting for you below, the cast and creative team discuss the second episode of the season, how Daryl’s and Carol’s respective journeys are bringing them closer to a reunion – and what could end up complicating things along the way.

Here’s a look behind the scenes at how AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol S02E02: “Moulin Rouge” came together, followed by a look back at what else we know about the spinoff series so far…

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol: What We Know…

“It was a little weird, but then again, it wasn’t because both of our characters are very adaptive. It was kind of like riding a bike. We knew where she was, knew what she wanted, what she was trying to do. So that part was easy,” McBride shared during an interview with EW about how it was surprisingly easier to get back into the swing of things than some would expect. That said, don’t mistake McBride’s words to mean that it’s the same Carol we’ve come to know and love.

“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.” You know, that radio communication between the two did sound a bit concerning – but McBride wasn’t offering more than that – but Reedus did drop this very interesting line: “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.”

During the first season of AMC & AMC+’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Daryl (Reedus) washes ashore in France and struggles to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan.

The new season picks up where the first season left off, following Daryl and Carol (McBride) as they both confront old demons while she fights to find her friend and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension at the Nest. Additionally, Genet’s (Anne Charrier) movement builds momentum, setting Pouvoir on a violent collision course with the Union of Hope in the fight for France’s future.

Looking ahead, Season Three tracks Carol and Daryl as they continue their journey towards home and the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.

Eduardo Noriega (The Devil’s Backbone, Vantage Point), Óscar Jaenada (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Hernán), and Alexandra Masangkay (The Platform, Valley of Shadows) will be joining the cast as series regulars for the third season. In addition, Candela Saitta (Máxima, Último primer día) and Hugo Arbués (Through My Window, Past Lies) are set for Season 3 in recurring roles. In addition, Stephen Merchant (The Office, The Outlaws) has joined the spinoff series’ cast.
