AMC is expanding its zombie universe and is vigorously developing the spinoff series about fan favorite Daryl Dixon. Fans of the fighter have reasons to be happy: not only is the show’s second season kicking off in September, but AMC is already working on season 3.
From the start, the network had high hopes for Daryl’s spinoff — rightly so, it turns out. The series has been well received by fans, with the change of setting and the introduction of new characters bringing fresh air into 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 name of season 2 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon?
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 through devastated France together.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 Release Date
In the US, the second season will be released on AMC and AMC+ Sunday September 29, 2024.
The season will consist of 6 episodes released weekly.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 Cast
The next season will see the return of Norman Reedus as the fearless warrior and zombie slayer Daryl Dixon. It has also been confirmed that he will be working together Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier – in season 1, viewers saw the cameo of the actress announcing her comeback.
The following cast members return to their roles in the new episodes:
- Clemence Poesy – Isabelle, member of a religious order
- Anne Charier – Genet
- Laika Blanc Francard – Sylvia
- Romain Levi – Codron
- Louis Puech Scigliuzzi – Laurent
- Eriq Ebouaney
There is also a new addition to the cast. Manish Dayal stars as Ash, an engineer from Maine, who will take Carol aboard his plane to Europe.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 plot
The first season of the spin-off introduced viewers to the new, unknown world of post-apocalyptic Europe. Washed up on a shore and forced to travel across the continent, Daryl came across a convent run by Sister Isabelle. He was sent on a mission to guide a boy named Laurent, who would be the last hope to save humanity.
During the journey, Daryl, the nun and the boy formed a thread of understanding. In season 2, we’ll likely see how this relationship develops. Unless Daryl decides to return to the US, but at this point such a decision seems unlikely.
However, the crucial storyline of season 2 will be Carol’s quest to get to France and her meeting with Daryl. In the season 1 finale, viewers saw a scene where she tried to find a trace of Daryl. If she succeeds and discovers that the hunter is in Europe, she will have to find a way to cross the ocean. We already know she will achieve this, thanks to Ash and his plane.
The second season of the series will likely see a conflict between the Union of Hope and Genet’s Pouvoir des Vivants.
