Despite the initial failure of the plan, Daryl’s daring nature ensures success in a shootout. In the other portion of the clip,McBride’s Carol has tracked Daryl’s staple motorcycleto the camp where he was kidnapped from.

Two Homes for Daryl Dixon
While the prospect of a reunion between Carol and Daryl isthrilling to imagine for many fans of the franchise, it might raise some tough questions for the characters themselves. Carol’s search for her pal has seen her arrive in Maine, and if her renowned determination is anything to go by, she’d ultimately be reunited with Daryl in France. When the pair are finally reunited, though, it might not be easy for Carol to get Daryl to return home with her. Through the events of the first season ofDaryl Dixon, Reedus' already tough character has become somewhat tougher because ofthe experiences he has endured. In France, he has bonded with Sister Isabelle (ClémencePoésy) and Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi) buildinga familial bondwhich will surely be tested in the upcoming episodes.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonwill premiere in the summer of 2024.
