The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 picks up where October’s first season finale left off. Carol and Daryl 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 movement builds momentum, setting the Pouvoir on a violent collision course with the Union of Hope in the fight for France’s future.
Along with series regulars Reedus and McBride, the new season stars Clémence Poésy (Isabelle), Louis Puech Scigliuzzi (Laurent), Laika Blanc Francard (Sylvie), Anne Charrier (Madame Genet), Romain Levi (Codron), Eriq Ebouaney (Fallou), and Manish Dayal (Ash).
“We are so proud of these shows and incredibly grateful for the way this new chapter in The Walking Dead Universe has been embraced by the fans,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment, AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “Sending Daryl, and then Carol, to France was such an inspired and visually striking move for this franchise, a chance to do something truly different. We can’t wait to continue the travels of this iconic duo with a third season produced and set in Spain, another beautiful country with a passionate TWD fanbase that is already buzzing with anticipation.”
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol premieres Sunday, Sept. 29th on AMC and AMC+. Stay tuned to ComicBook/TWD and on Facebook for more TWD Universe coverage.
