The Wrap
The Legend of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon lives on in this ‘epic and entertaining’ (Comicbook.com) spin-off from one of the biggest TV franchises of all time. Series favourite Norman Reedus (The Bikeriders) reprises his role as the titular Daryl Dixon – a crossbow-slinging, rough and tough zombie slayer who, this time, must battle baguette brain-eaters in France.
With fresh iterations of fear and a new location, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 1 arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and digital on 30 September 2024, courtesy of Acorn Media International and follows its transmission on Sky. With a second season on the way, now is the perfect time to sink your teeth into this acclaimed series starring Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter, The Tunnel, In Bruges), Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl, The Terror) and Melissa McBride (The Mist, Dawson’s Creek).
Following his departure from The Commonwealth in The Walking Dead finale, Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France – where the zombie virus originated. Thousands of miles from home, The Undead States of America, he struggles to piece together how and why he got there and embarks on a quest to find his way back.
Alone in a foreign, fiendish landscape and after several run-ins with various militaristic factions and flesh-hungry walkers, Daryl seeks shelter in a convent. There he comes face-to-face with two members of the Union de L’Espoir (Union of Hope) – nun Isabelle (Poésy) and 12-year-old Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi – Show Me More) – a young boy believed to be the Messiah destined to save humanity.
Daryl agrees to shepherd the child and his caretakers on their pilgrimage to The Nest, the Union’s resistance stronghold in Paris, in return for their help in securing his passage back to America. With the stakes as high as the undead are hungry, will Daryl be able to protect the chosen one, is Laurent really who the Union believe him to be and will he find his way back home?
Hope is worth fighting for in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
