The Book of Carol: All the Details for Season 2

AMC has announced that the premiere date for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol will be September 29. The series will also debut on AMC+ on that date. Daryl Dixon is the second direct spinoff of The Walking Dead, which concluded its story in 2022. This new series focuses on the titular character, played by Norman Reedus, finding himself washed ashore in France.

The first season, which premiered in 2023, detailed Daryl’s arrival in France and his immediate plans to return home, given that he ended up there against his will. Initially, he intended to return to the Commonwealth within a week, a plan he relayed to Carol (Melissa McBride) in a brief radio conversation. His journey, however, took a different turn when he was forcibly taken on a ship to France.

In France, Daryl befriends a nun named Isabelle (Clémence Poésy) and a young boy named Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), both members of the Union of Hope. He joins forces with this group, battling against an antagonist faction known as Pouvoir or The Power of the Living.

The first season also hinted at Carol’s return in an after-credits scene, where she begins searching for Daryl in Maine, his last known location.

Showrunner David Zabel has confirmed that the second season will pick up almost immediately after the events of the season one finale.

“This season picks up where Season 1 left off, following fan-favorite characters Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride). They both confront old demons while she fights to find her friend and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension at the Nest,” according to AMC Networks.

It’s confirmed that Reedus will reprise his role as Daryl, a character he has brought to life since 2010. McBride is also set to return to the universe after a short hiatus.

The only new cast member announced for season two is Manish Dayal, who will play Ash. Dayal is known for his role in The Resident.

Carol’s storyline will unfold in the United States as she searches for Daryl, who remains in France with the Union of Hope. During her journey, she meets Ash, who owns a plane. The big question is, will they fly to France? Will Daryl and Carol reunite in France?
