Daryl Dixon’s The Walking Dead Season 2 Premiere Date Announced

How do you say “super-sized” in French? AMC Networks has announced that “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol,” the forthcoming second season of the France-set “Walking Dead” spinoff starring Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, will debut with a super-sized event. This special airing will take place on AMC and AMC+ on Sunday, September 29th, from 8 pm ET/PT to 10 pm ET/PT.

Prior to the “La gentillesse des étrangers” season premiere, an hour-long special titled “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Return” will provide an in-depth look into the new season. This special will follow Reedus’ Daryl and McBride’s Carol on their separate journeys, which are thousands of miles apart.

AMC+ subscribers are in for a treat as they will get exclusive access to “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon at San Diego Comic-Con,” featuring this year’s Comic-Con panel with Reedus and McBride. The network also announced a third season renewal, which will be set and filmed in Spain, starting on September 22nd.

“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” season 2 continues from where October’s first season finale ended.

Meanwhile, Genet’s movement builds momentum, leading the Pouvoir on a violent collision course with the Union of Hope in the battle for France’s future.

The new season features returning regulars Reedus and McBride, and new stars including Clémence Poésy (Isabelle), Louis Puech Scigliuzzi (Laurent), Laika Blanc Francard (Sylvie), Anne Charrier (Madame Genet), Romain Levi (Codron), Eriq Ebouaney (Fallou), and Manish Dayal (Ash).

“We are so proud of these shows and incredibly grateful for the way this new chapter in ‘The Walking Dead’ Universe has been embraced by the fans,” says Dan McDermott, president of entertainment for AMC Studios. “Sending Daryl, and then Carol, to France was an inspired and visually striking move for this franchise, giving us a chance to do something truly different. We can’t wait to continue the travels of this iconic duo with a third season in Spain, a beautiful country with a passionate ‘TWD’ fanbase that is already buzzing with anticipation.”

“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol” premieres Sunday, September 29th on AMC and AMC+.
