The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 marks the continuation of the popular spin-off from the 2010 television series. Starring Norman Reedus in the iconic role of Daryl Dixon—who was first introduced as a recurring character before becoming a series regular in The Walking Dead Season 2—this season promises an exciting storyline.
Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is also referred to as The Book of Carol, a nod to the initial concept which intended for Melissa McBride’s Carol Peletier to co-star alongside Daryl Dixon. However, due to scheduling conflicts, McBride’s role was adjusted to that of a guest star. In this upcoming season, Daryl and Carol will take center stage as the co-leads of the series.
