In the second season of the show Daryl can count on the help of an old friend
AMC is expanding its zombie universe and vigorously working on the second season of a standalone series about Daryl. Fans of the rogue hunter won’t have to wait long for his return – the new episodes will appear in just a few months.
From the beginning, the network had high hopes for Daryl’s spin-off – as it turned out, quite rightly so. The series has been well-received by fans, with the change of setting and the introduction of new characters bringing fresh air to the universe.
If you want to know what’s in store for the future of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, we’ve rounded up what we know.

What is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 called?
Season 2 of the spin-off will have a slightly different title: The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol. The change reflects the appearance of Daryl’s best friend, Carol Peletier, in the story. The title suggests that the characters will join forces and travel together through ravaged France.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 plot
The spin-off’s first season introduced viewers to a new, unfamiliar world of a post-apocalyptic Europe. Washed upon a shore and forced to travel through the country, Daryl came across a convent run by Sister Isabelle. He was sent on a mission to escort a boy named Laurent, who was supposed to be the last hope for saving humanity.
During the journey, Daryl, the nun and the boy established a thread of understanding. In season 2, we will likely see how this relationship develops. Unless Daryl decides to return to the US – but at this point, such a decision seems unlikely.
Of course, all indications are that Daryl will be joined by Carol, who was last seen in The Walking Dead finale. In the spin-off, viewers saw a scene in which she was trying to find some traces of Daryl. If she succeeds and discovers that the hunter is in Europe, she must find a way to cross the ocean.
The series’ second season will likely see the development of conflict between the Union of Hope and Genet’s Pouvoir des Vivants.
