Daryl Dixon season 2 ended with confirmation that Daryl and Carol would be going to the UK, attempting to find a way back to the Virginia communities in the process. Merchant's character was teased in previous trailers as someone who will be crucial to their upcoming attempt to get home.

It's also unknown how big a role he'll play, and if he's involved in their next adventure in mainland Europe.
