AMC’s just unveiled the first real look at the upcoming The Walking Dead spinoff, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The sneak peek video shows Daryl (Norman Reedus) off on a solitary journey in a strange land, with the two-minute clip devoid of any walkers or other humans.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is targeting a fall 2023 premiere on AMC and AMC+.
Joining Norman Reedus in the new addition to The Walking Dead Universe are Clémence Poésy, Adam Nagaitis, Anne Charrier, Eriq Ebouaney, Laika Blanc Francard, Romain Levi, and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi. David Zabel serves as showrunner and executive produces with Reedus, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, and Daniel Percival.
In a recent interview with EW, Reedus described what Daryl’s been up to.
“His journey was a long one,” revealed Reedus. “Longer and even harder and weirder than you would think. He was so close to getting what he wanted and to where he wanted to be. And, of course, in Walking Dead rules, he had it ripped away. To Daryl, you might as well have dropped him on the moon. This world now, it’s bigger, it’s deeper, and just as heavy, if not heavier.”
AMC offered this description of the new post-apocalyptic drama:
“In The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Daryl 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.”
