Norman Reedus teases the “best hour of Walking Dead ever” in Daryl Dixon season 2

BBG News

As a dedicated fan of The Walking Dead since its early days, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming second season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Having grown up watching this post-apocalyptic saga unfold on our screens for over a decade, it’s truly remarkable to see how the universe has expanded beyond what we once knew.

After being on our screens for over a decade and producing over 300 episodes spread across 25 seasons, The Walking Dead, as expressed by Norman Reedus, has many memorable moments. However, he particularly highlights the finale of Daryl Dixon’s second season as an exceptional standout.

Since the end of “The Walking Dead,” AMC has kept putting a lot of resources into the franchise. Initially, we had “Dead City,” which was like “Escape from New York” and focused on Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). More recently, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) came back in a new show called “The Ones Who Live.”

After that, we have Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus, leading the spin-off. This show is set in post-apocalyptic France, located across the North Atlantic. The first season was met with outstanding criticism, praising aspects such as its talented cast, captivating setting, and innovative storyline. At the end of season 1, Daryl had the chance to go back to the United States, but instead chose to stay in France. He found contentment in his new community located at the renowned Mont Saint-Michel commune.

In the second season, Melissa McBride rejoins the show as Carol, making her initial appearance since the final episode of “The Walking Dead” (apart from a short appearance in the finale of Daryl’s first season). Like many others, she sets sail for France in pursuit of Daryl, following clues about his location. Here’s a sneak peek:

McBride found it effortless to reprise her cherished character. “It felt a bit unusual, yet not really, as our characters are quite flexible,” she shared with Entertainment Weekly. “Going back was like getting on a bike I’d ridden before. We knew where her place was, what goals she had, and what she was working towards. That part came naturally.”

McBride found it necessary to portray a new facet of Carol, although the reason for this change in attitude remains unknown. Yet, McBride hints at a braver version of Carol emerging.

She is determined. But it’s a different type of fearlessness that’s driven by her determination to find her friend — and also by the headspace that we find Carol in, which will be revealed.

Norman Reedus is thrilled to lead “The Walking Dead Universe” into unexplored territory. The desire to try something novel was the driving force behind his decision to create the show. As he put it, “Melissa and I, along with everyone else, were eager for a fresh take on what makes this series and its characters so captivating. We saw this as an exceptional chance to build something new and exciting using these established elements.”

The investment brought about substantial rewards. In truth, he’s eagerly anticipating the finale of season 2 with great excitement. “I genuinely believe that the finale of season 2 is the finest hour-long episode of ‘The Walking Dead’ to date,” he hinted. “And having been part of this production since day 3, I can confidently say that it’s my favorite hour of ‘The Walking Dead.'”

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 — The Book of Carol premieres September 29 on AMC.
