The first season of Daryl Dixon sees the titular character washed ashore in France and struggling to figure out how he got there.

We left on a cliffhanger note with Daryl unsure whether to return home or stay with his newfound family in France. The final scene of the finale saw Carol’s return as she began searching for what happened to her old friend. The upcoming season will focus on Carol’s efforts to find her friend, “There’s a lot of action in season 2,” Reedus divulged,
“There’s a lot of business and a lot of very heartfelt moments. There’s also a lot of hero stuff with Melissa. It’s beautiful.”
“Melissa and I and everybody else wanted to do something new,” Reedus says of the show’s continued effort to differentiate itself from the original series with new locations, score, and tonal shifts. “This was a real opportunity to take all these elements that make this show and these characters so compelling and make something brand new and fresh. And that’s what we did,” Reedus says, further promising, “I think the finale of season 2 is the best one hour of Walking Dead anything ever.” With a promise of high-octane action and a strong emotional core, the upcoming season will be one to watch out for.
