Even before the motorcycle-riding zombie-killing Daryl Dixon washed up on our screens in last year’sThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, AMC knew fans would want more. While the series didn’t celebrate its debut until September, the network went ahead and gave it a Season 2 renewal in July, promising audiences that Daryl’s story would continue. Now,The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carolhaslanded an official premiere date on September 29, giving viewers three months to speculate on the adventures and trouble-filled situations that the besties first introduced inThe Walking Deadwill encounter. With a third season in development, the staying power of the production certainly won’t be called into question, but how long can the spinoff go on for? Daryl Dixon himself,Norman Reedus, thinks that the limit does not exist.
During an interview with Collider’s Editor-in-ChiefSteve Weintraub, during which the pair discussed the actor’s upcoming feature-length production,The Bikeriders, Reedus shared his belief that there are still plenty of stories to tell when it comes to Daryl Dixon and gives his word that he’ll be certain to give the character his proper send off when the time comes.
“I think it’s got some time left in it.I want that character to end correctly.It started correctly and I put too much work into it to be a drone shot waving goodbye. You know what I mean? I want him to get his justice. It still has a huge fan base. I get mobbed all the time because of that show. In France, when the posters went up, it was bananas. We’re about to start Season 3, but I will saythe finale of Season 2 is the best one-hourWalking Deadanything ever.I’ve said it in press before. I stick to it. It’s mind-blowing.”
In the finale ofDaryl Dixon’s first season,audiencesfinallyspotted Melissa McBride’s Carol againas she was hot in pursuit of a man riding Daryl’s beloved motorcycle. On a mission to find her bestie, Carol’s final moments of the episode saw her riding off into the post-apocalyptic sunset on a quest that will presumably take her overseas. Meanwhile, in France, Daryl will grapple with the biggest choice of his life -stay and fight, or return to America.
