The Walking Dead – Daryl Dixon: Plot of Season 2

This is what happened in the finale of season 1

In the finale of season 1, there was a tough showdown in a fighting arena run by Madame Genet, where Daryl had to fight against super zombies. With the help of the Union de l'espoir, he is initially able to come with Quinn, but unfortunately Daryl discovers that Quinn has been bitten.

Ultimately, Quinn realizes that he can only help the others if he fights the Pouvoir with his last remaining strength and thus buys the others time. At the same time, Isabelle and Laurent are able to escape because Isabelle cleverly steals her guardian's key.

Isabelle reveals to Daryl in a private conversation that she has lied to him a little. The picture that Laurent supposedly painted of Daryl before Daryl's arrival was actually only painted after Isabelle discovered it. She just wanted to convince Daryl to help them. As they flee, they are caught by Codron and his men. One of them injured Isabelle's shoulder.

At the last second, Cordron decides not to take revenge for his brother's death and instead shoots the Guerriers. Codron later tells Madame Genet that he is the only survivor of the attack by Daryl and Co., but she does not want to believe him. He admits that he could not kill Laurent. Genet will torture him for information about where the Union nest is.

Daryl Dixon, Isabelle, Laurent and Sylvie reach the nest in Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, the headquarters of the Union de l'espoir. There, everyone lives together in harmony and Daryl immediately gets involved in the community and gives a shooting lesson to the members so that they are prepared for the attack by Genet's men.

The Buddhist monk Losang is the leader of the Union. He promises Daryl that he can first take him to England with a fisherman, where he can then travel with other boats to Newfoundland, but from there Daryl has to find his own way home. Daryl accepts the offer. He hastily says goodbye to Isabelle and leaves a Rubik's Cube for the sleeping Laurent. On his way to the beach where the boat is supposed to pick him up, he discovers graves from the Second World War and even that of his grandfather.

He spots the boat on the sea and tries to draw its attention, but instead he attracts some zombies that he has to fight. Laurent appears out of nowhere and calls for Daryl. Daryl hesitates, but everything indicates that he will go back to Laurent.

This is what awaits us in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol”

After that, a small teaser for the second season of “Daryl Dixon” started. Carol Peletier travels through Maine looking for clues about what happened to her friend Daryl. She spots a dubious man on Daryl's motorcycle, knocks him down and puts him in the trunk of her car, and coaxes him to give clues about Daryl's last whereabouts.

It is now known that Carol (McBride) actually finds a way to travel to France. At the New York Comic-Con 2023, it was revealed that Carol will play a role in season 2. This means that Daryl and Carol could both travel back to the Commonwealth together in the second season. But first, Daryl has to fight Genet's troops, who are making their way to the nest.

It has now been confirmed that “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” will have a third season set in Spain. The European adventures of our power duo Caryl are far from over.

The Walking Dead – Daryl Dixon: Cast of Season 2

What is certain is that Norman Reedus will once again take on the title role of Daryl Dixon. Melissa McBride will once again play the role of Carol Peletier. Clémence Poésy will also most likely return as Sister Isabelle, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi as Laurent and Laika Blanc-Francard as Sister Sylvie. Romain Levi will also return as Stéphane Codron. Eriq Ebouaney will play the role of Fallou.

Newly confirmed is “The Resident” actor Manish Dayal. He will play the role of Ash, an engineer from Boston who has been living in his family's vacation home in Maine since the outbreak of the apocalypse. Ash has a strict daily routine that includes flying his modified single-engine plane every day and visiting the mysterious greenhouse in his garden (via Deadline).

Since he lives in Maine, it stands to reason that Carol will encounter him during her search for Daryl and his plane will also play a role in her trip to France.

The Walking Dead – Daryl Dixon: Production of Season 2

Showrunner for season 2 of “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” is again David Zabel. Executive producers include TWD content chief Scott M. Gimple, comic book author Robert Kirkman, as well as David Alpert, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, Jason Richman, Daniel Percival, Greg Nicotero, Norman Reedus and David Zabel.
