The Walking Dead fan favorites Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride are back together again for season two of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. McBride will be reprising her role as Carol Peletier as a series regular in the upcoming season, which is targeting a 2024 premiere.
Melissa McBride is also on board as an executive producer for season two, officially titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol. Reedus, showrunner David Zabel, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, Daniel Percival, Jason Richman, and Steve Squillante also executive produce the upcoming season.
AMC broke the news during their panel at the 2023 New York Comic Con. It was also confirmed that McBride’s Carol shows up for the season one finale airing on Sunday, October 15 at 9pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.
“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. 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!” said McBride.
In addition to Reedus and McBride, the season two cast includes Clémence Poésy, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Laika Blanc Francard, Anne Charrier, Romain Levi, and Eriq Ebouaney.
Production is currently underway in France.
AMC’s official description of 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.”
