The Walking Dead fans, assemble: We\u2019re finally getting the Carol\/Daryl spinoff we\u2019ve been waiting for!<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, folks: Melissa McBride is set to return for the second season of the franchise\u2019s latest spin-off, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spin-off<\/a> series revolves around Daryl (Norman Reedus) after he finds himself washed ashore in France and tries to figure out how he ended up there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McBride, who played Carol Peletier in all 11 seasons of the series, was originally set to star opposite Reedus\u2019s Daryl in the spinoff but dropped out in April 2022 after the drama switched its filming location to Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, McBride will be back as Carol alongside Daryl in season 2 of <\/span>The <\/span>Walking Dead<\/span>: Daryl Dixon, it was confirmed at the franchises\u2019s New York Comic Con panel on Thursday 12th October.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known there was much more to be told of Carol\u2019s story as I felt her so unsettled when we last saw her, as she watched her best friend, Daryl, ride away,\u201d McBride said in a statement Thursday. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cApart or (hopefully!) together, their stories run deep, and I\u2019m so excited to continue Carol\u2019s journey here. This team of storytellers have done amazing work to land these two established characters in an entirely new world to them, and I\u2019m loving the discoveries!\u201d she continued.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, when will the series be back for another outing? Read on for everything you need to know about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to say exactly when the second season of Daryl Dixon will be released, either in the US or the UK.<\/p>\n

Thankfully for fans, the show hasn\u2019t been significantly impacted by the SAG-AFTRA strike<\/a>. In September, it was reported that both Daryl Dixon and another Walking Dead spin-off, The Ones Who Live, would both resume filming, after interim agreements were struck between AMC Networks and the actors\u2019 union.<\/p>\n

\n

This means that the next season could arrive in the US sooner rather than later, likely around September 2024<\/strong>, which would be a year after the first season debuted.<\/p>\n

However, the UK release date is more tricky to judge. The first season has not aired this side of the pond yet, and a broadcaster or streaming service has yet to be confirmed for the spin-off, as is the case with other Walking Dead shows such as Dead City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once a broadcaster is confirmed, it seems likely that the second season would air on the same platform, and hopefully won\u2019t be too delayed in comparison to the US broadcast.<\/p>\n

It was announced even before season 1 debuted that a second season had been ordered, with the news being revealed at the same time as the renewal for The Walking Dead: Dead City.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, said at the time: \u201cThis 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-favourite character Daryl Dixon coming in September.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t 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\u2019re 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\u2019ve seen before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Norman Reedus is returning in the title role as Daryl, while Melissa McBride will also be back as Carol, it has been confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it certainly seems likely that some of the show\u2019s other main cast will be back for the next run, fans will have to wait for official confirmation.<\/p>\n
