Daryl Dixon is soon to return in his own The Walking Dead spinoff – here’s what we know, from its release date and trailer to its cast and plot.

As played by Norman Reedus, Daryl Dixon is arguably the most popular character in The Walking Dead. Meaning it came as no surprise that he was getting his own standalone show.

Footage from that series debuted during The Walking Dead: Dead City earlier this year, while we also learned that the series would debut in the Fall.

So the following is everything else we know about the show, including its start date, the cast, and a rundown on our first look.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon cast

The following are the main members of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon cast, as well as details of who they play:

• Adam Nagaitis: Quinn
• Anne Charrier: Genet
• Eriq Ebouaney: Fallou
• Laika Blanc Francard: Sylvie
• Romain Levi: Codron
• Louis Puech Scigliuzzi: Laurent

A previous press release states of the above: “Poesy will play the female lead Isabelle, a member of a progressive religious group, who joins forces with Daryl on a journey across France and finds herself confronting her dark past in Paris.

“Nagaitis portrays Quinn, a displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.”

Melissa McBride was also thought to be returning as fan-favorite Carol, however, has since confirmed that’s not the case. Due to filming taking place in Europe, McBride was unable to commit to the spinoff.

The show is executive produced by Reedus, showrunner David Zabel, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, and Daniel Percival. 

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon plot

The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan.”
