The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 was renewed in July 2023, even before the first season debuted on September 10, 2023. The sequel is titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, which strongly asserts that Melissa McBride will be playing a major role alongside her co-star, with whom she’s reunited after a long time since the original series ended.
Unlike other TV series and movies, that faced production schedule issues due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 was one of the few to be spared.
The reason was an agreement between AMC and SAG-AFTRA, which led the filming to continue without any postponement or cancellation. Follow along with the article to learn more about the sequel.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2: will be released on September 22, 2024
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 will be released on September 22, 2024. Nothing much has been revealed as of now besides the release dates and a few pertinent details regarding casting and storyline, the sequel is also expected to run for six episodes with a similar runtime.
The second season was filmed in Europe without facing interruption from the ongoing strikes and as stated above the reason was AMC breaking a deal with SAG-AFTRA. However, it was not just the Daryl Dixon spinoff, as AMC also made a deal for Interview with the Vampire season 2.
One of the major reasons behind the hype for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 is Melissa McBride’s return as Carol, who will tag along with Daryl on an unprecedented journey.
Although McBride made her enthralling return in the first season’s finale, it can’t be considered a proper return but something of setting the stage for the following events involving her character.
In an official state, McBride revealed her excitement for rejoining the universe and expressed she is all set:
“I’ve known there was much more to be told of Carol’s story as I felt her so unsettled when we last saw her, as she watched her best friend, Daryl, ride away.”
She further said:
“Apart or (hopefully!) together, their stories run deep, and I’m so excited to continue Carol’s journey here. This team of storytellers have done amazing work to land these two established characters in an entirely new world to them, and I’m loving the discoveries!”
The sequel will also see the addition of a new cast member, Manish Dayal, who will be playing Ash, an engineer from Boston. As per the character’s story description before the apocalypse Ash moved to his family’s weekend house in Maine.
Ash continues to survive, following a strict schedule and adhering to the codes he set for himself. Dayal’s character will play a significant role in Daryl and Carol’s struggle.

After Daryl’s exit from The Commonwealth, he finds himself inexplicably washed up on the shores of France, which surprisingly turns out to be the birthplace of the Walkers.
Utterly perplexed yet determined, Daryl sets out to learn how he ended up in this part of the region and tries to find a way back home. Once again his path is filled with obstacles and he runs into a dangerous faction called “Pouvoir des Vivants” (Power of the Living) that is provoked by his arrival.
As the faction puts a young boy, important to a kind-hearted religious community, in jeopardy, Daryl has to put his quest aside and navigate through both humans and zombies in an unfamiliar yet hostile environment.
