The next spinoff show in The Walking Dead universe, AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, has debuted a brand new teaser trailer. Original franchise star Norman Reedus returns to his role as Daryl Dixon as the character journeys across a broken but resilient France, as he hopes to find a way back home to the States. As Daryl makes the journey, however, the connections he forms along the way seem to complicate his ultimate plan.
One such connection forces a detour that sees Daryl accept a mission to travel with a young boy called Laurent, who is important to a mysterious religious order, through Provence in order to ignite “the revival of humanity”.
The series also presents new audiences a chance to jump into the story without prior knowledge of the universe, explains The Walking Dead director Greg Nicotero. “This is probably the closest to a standalone show you will ever get. The goal isn’t just to see Daryl in exotic and new locations, but to explore a wholly different world. This is definitely not more of the same. Our show introduces new characters, new themes, and is an exciting extension of the genre that will delight people who love this kind of storytelling and crave more.”
David Zabel serves as showrunner for the spinoff project, which also stars Clémence Poésy, Adam Nagaitis, Anne Charrier, Eriq Ebouaney, Laika Blanc Francard, Romain Levi and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi and is executive produced by Zabel, Reedus, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath and Daniel Percival.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon premieres on AMC and AMC+ on September 10th with a six-episode first season. The show has already been renewed for a second season.
