The upcoming spin-off scores an early pickup.
July 21, 2023
AMC announced today at San Diego Comic-Con that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has been renewed for a second season. The pickup is an early one, coming nearly two months before the spin-off series premieres.
"This next chapter in the Walking Dead Universe continues to thrive with a terrific inaugural season for Dead City and highly anticipated new journey for fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon coming in September," said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. "And, ahead of its debut, we're thrilled to double down on Daryl as we bring the apocalypse to France, transforming Notre Dame, Pont du Gard and other iconic locales into an apocalyptic landscape unlike anything we've seen before."
The series follows Daryl after he washes up on the shores of France with no memory of how he got there, leading him to journey across the broken but resilient country hoping to find a way back home. During his travels, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his plan.

Can you dim the lights anymore?
Maybe film everything in the dark.
I love reading subtitles. Could you add more subtitles?
Oh, and slow the plot down. It's way too fast.
I really loved the scene when Daryl is torturing the FRENCH guy and telling him a story about how his childhood friend had to kill a pet pig for Christmas dinner.... in ENGLISH...
And Dead City sucked... they just wanted to show zip lining, that's all. The story was EXACTLY the same as all TWD over the past 6 seasons. Nothing new. The Crowad is laughable... and taking a toe from Hershel.. so what??? Marshalls after the world has fallen??? Seriously??? "Hi Mashal" BAM Shot in the head.. no more Marshall. Problem solved. I mean the writing is just pathetic.
I'll tune in and hate-watch the Daryll and Carol show.. but honestly my expectations could not be any lower. The writing for this entire "universe" has been at a high school drama level for many years now.
FYI, I cried when Rosita died
With Dixon in Europe perhaps we can finally get to the bottom of who released the zombie virus in the first place. I would love to see what contrived excuse the custodians of this universe come up with.
But then it looks like we've seen this. Transport youngster from point A to B. The evil villain who will hunt you is well established and ready to go. Oh, and france being the cradle of civilization has a messianic child who will reboot europe. Go team nuns and templars.
I don't see anything we haven't seen before in the TWD universe.
