I’m Losing Hope The Walking Dead Will Introduce A Comic Survivor Connected To Rick Grimes

The Walking Dead is continuing strong with its latest spinoffs, but I'm losing hope they'll introduce a comic survivor connected to Rick Grimes. The zombie franchise's ongoing spinoff shows have been offering new, original storylines following The Walking Dead series finale. Most recently, Dead City season 3 was confirmed, with Daryl Dixon season 3 airing in early September.

With these new stories have come a plethora of survivors the universe's veteran characters have met. This includes villains like the Dama and Genet, to new heroes such as Isabelle and Nat. But, despite these shows still pulling some inspiration from Robert Kirkman's comic series, I'm losing hope one character is going to show up, despite pretense for his appearance.

 

Rick’s Brother Jeffrey Might Not Show Up In Daryl Dixon Season 3

Jeffrey Starred In His Own Comic Spinoff

While the cast of Daryl Dixon has only included original characters, aside from Daryl and Carol, the show has an opportunity to introduce a comic character. This would be Jeffrey Grimes, Rick's brother, who starred in a spinoff one-shot titled The Walking Dead: The Alien. In the comic, he's stranded in Barcelona, Spain when the apocalypse begins.

Because of his location, it's possible that Jeffrey will appear in Daryl Dixon season 3. The source material means there's potential he exists in the TV universe as well. However, there's also evidence to suggest that he isn't going to show up. Most notably, Rick never mentions Jeffrey in the show, meaning there's no way of knowing if he exists.

In addition, there's been no casting news surrounding who might be playing him. While this could be chalked up to his appearance being a surprise, AMC spoiled Daryl Dixon would be going to Spain in season 3 before season 2 aired. If Jeffrey was going to show up, chances are his appearance would have been revealed already.

 
 

How Jeffrey Could Still Show Up In Daryl Dixon

Season 4's Production Gives Him A Chance To Appear

However, there is one way Jeffrey could still show up in The Walking Dead's TV universe. As of writing, Daryl Dixon season 4 is currently filming in Spain, as confirmed by Norman Reedus last month. This means there's still a chance Jeffrey could show up in the spinoff, even if he doesn't debut in the next batch of episodes.

Given his connections to Rick, it would be neat to see The Walking Dead acknowledge the comics by having Jeffrey appear. If he became a regular member of Daryl's group, it would give him and Carol more incentive to get home. But, for now, it seems there's no way of knowing if Rick's brother will appear in the spinoff.
