A new teaser trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon shows even more footage of Daryl’s newfound purpose as he retreads his journey to redemption.
AMC released a new teaser for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, offering another look at Norman Reedus' titular character as he fights to survive in a new but familiar post-apocalyptic landscape.
The new teaser, titled "Daryl's Journey," showcases some new footage and prepares audiences for Daryl's newest journey through zombie-infested France. Daryl Dixon sees Reedus reprise his role from the original Walking Dead series. Additionally, the teaser trailer features Clémence Poésy as Isabelle, who asks Daryl how he wound up in France. To this, Daryl responds, "A bunch of bad decisions."
A quick glimpse of new allies and enemies shows what Daryl may be up against. The trailer also sets the new backdrop with wide shots of bleak bogs and broken-down urban landscapes, including a look at the Eiffel Tower in ruins. In addition to Reedus and Poésy, Daryl Dixon stars Adam Nagaitis, Anne Charrier, Eriq Ebouaney, Laika Blanc Francard and Romain Levi. The trailer also offered a look at Louis Puech Scigliuzzi as Laurent, a child entrusted to Daryl. The spinoff is produced by Scott M. Gimple, showrunner David Zabel, Reedus, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath and Daniel Percival.
What to Expect From Daryl Dixon
Per the official synopsis provided by AMC, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon sees Daryl, played by Reedus, as he "washes ashore in France and struggles to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan. "
AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is one of several spinoffs from The Walking Dead's main plot line. For fans of the franchise, one of the main hooks of the spinoff lies in how Daryl wound up on a different continent since the final scenes of The Walking Dead saw him ride off in search of Rick and Michonne. Similarly, Rick and Michonne have landed their own spinoff series titled The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
The first official trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was released in July during 2023's San Diego Comic-Con. AMC has already renewed the series for a second season, well before its scheduled premiere on Sept. 10. "This next chapter in the Walking Dead Universe continues to thrive with a terrific inaugural season for Dead City and highly anticipated new journey for fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon coming in September," said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks.
He continued, "We can’t wait to bring Dead City fans back to the epicenter of Manhattan for more zip-lining action with Maggie and Negan. And, ahead of its debut, we’re thrilled to double down on Daryl as we bring the apocalypse to France, transforming Notre Dame, Pont du Gard and other iconic locales into an apocalyptic landscape unlike anything we’ve seen before."
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon premieres on Sept. 10 on AMC+ and AMC.
