Even before the long-running zombie hit “The Walking Dead” ended its eleventh season, it was clear that the stories of several fan-favorite duos would continue in new spinoffs. ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ transports Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) to New York, in ‘The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live’ we discover how Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) after her departure from the main series…
…and a new spinoff should bring us new adventures from perhaps the most popular “Walking Dead” “couple”: Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride). However, nothing came of this (for now). Carol actress Melissa McBride turned her back on the project because the production’s move to Europe prevented her from participating. The series, now aptly titled ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’, was subsequently adapted into a solo spin-off. But it won’t stay that way.
Melissa McBride returns to the ‘Walking Dead’ franchise in the second season of ‘Daryl Dixon’ – not just for a guest appearance, but as a lead actress. This was announced at New York Comic Con. This means fans are now treated to the series, which was first announced in 2020. To reflect the comeback, season 2 will be subtitled “The Book Of Carol”.
How will Carol return to ‘The Walking Dead’?
Warning: Minor spoilers for “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” follow!
The fact that Carol is now involved in the series is not really a big surprise anymore, since Melissa McBride was spotted on the set of “Daryl Dixon” a while ago. However, her appearance was not officially confirmed for a long time.
Carol’s return does not necessarily mean that Daryl, who was stranded in France, will find his way back to the US in season 2. The filming of the Carol scene also took place in France. Apparently the logistical challenges for Melissa McBride had been overcome.
It is still unclear how exactly Carol ends up on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. But we have to be smarter in the coming days, Carol was scheduled to drop by for a brief appearance in the finale of the first “Daryl Dixon” season, set for Oct. 15 in the U.S.who then makes her full-fledged return in the second season.
