The unstoppable TV franchise The Walking Dead continues with its latest spin-off. Series favourite Norman Reedus (The Bikeriders) reprises his
role as the titular Daryl Dixon – a crossbow-slinging, rough and tough zombie slayer who, this time, must battle his way through walkers in France. A second season is on the way, and production recently started on a third, so, there’s plenty more Daryl Dixon on the horizon.
Following his departure from The Commonwealth in The Walking Dead finale, Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France – where the zombie virus originated. Thousands of miles from home, The Undead States of America, he struggles to piece together how and why he got there and embarks on a quest to find his way back. Alone in a foreign, fiendish landscape and after several run-ins with various militaristic factions and flesh-hungry walkers, Daryl seeks shelter in a convent. There he comes face-to-face with two members of the Union de L’Espoir (Union of Hope) – nun Isabelle (Poésy) and 12-year-old Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi – Show Me More) – a young boy believed to be the Messiah destined to save humanity.
Daryl agrees to shepherd the child and his caretakers on their pilgrimage to The Nest, the Union’s resistance stronghold in Paris, in return for their help in securing his passage back to America. With the stakes as high as
the undead are hungry, will Daryl be able to protect the chosen one, is Laurent really who the Union believe him to be and will he find his way back home?
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will be available on DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital on September 30.
