5 big questions Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 needs to answer

As a dedicated fan who’s been through the apocalypse with The Walking Dead for over a decade, I can’t help but feel like a long-lost friend reuniting with an old pal. With Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol set to premiere on September 29, 2024, I’ve been pondering the burning questions that this new season needs to address.


As a devoted fan, I’m eagerly anticipating the return of “The Book of Carol”! Here are five pressing questions that I hope this new season will delve into:

One of the most monumental television empires ever created is The Walking Dead. Its original show, running for an impressive eleven seasons, has since grown into a massive franchise.

Several spin-offs have been created as an extension of the original series. One of them revolves around characters Maggie and Negan, while a miniseries brought back Rick Grimes, the main character, to The Walking Dead following his exit.

Instead, it was the anticipated spin-off, centered around Daryl Dixon, that captured the interest of many viewers. Launched in 2023, the series’ premiason garnered praise from both audiences and critics, primarily because of its fresh backdrop, France, which unveiled a novel kind of Walkers.

Yet, the finale of the initial season left numerous queries unresolved. With the premier of “Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol” set for September 29, 2024, let’s explore five significant questions that the upcoming season must address.

How does Carol get to France?

Originally, it was intended that Carol and Daryl would appear together in every episode of this spinoff series. But unfortunately, actress Melissa McBride couldn’t guarantee her availability for filming in France, so the storyline shifted to solely focus on the character carrying the crossbow, a wandering nomad.

However, McBride decided to sign on for season two so fans would see the two characters reunite.

As we approach season two, a major query the series must address is the means by which Carol manages to reach France. Despite her knack for the seemingly unachievable, as demonstrated in the opening episode of TWD season 5 when she rescued the entire group from cannibals, making it to Europe seems like a stretch, even for Carol’s abilities.

In the previews for “Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol,” it hints at Carol taking a flight to France. Since we’re in the midst of an apocalypse and Carol isn’t a professional aviator, the upcoming season should clarify how she managed this seemingly impossible task.

What are all the other Walking Dead characters up to?

During season one, Daryl spent most of his time alone, so it wasn’t unexpected that he didn’t interact with other characters like Michonne, Gabriel, Judith, and their group in the storyline.

When Carol steps foot in France, it’s expected that she has kept connections with others. Consequently, The Book of Carol might include references to the other survivors. Moreover, this would serve as a delightful nod to fans, potentially featuring brief appearances by actors from the past, which could ignite a thunderous reaction among them.

Do Daryl and Carol know Rick is alive?

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel that this intriguing cliffhanger from season 1 needs resolution in season 2. In the last episode of the premiere season, Daryl makes a brief radio call to Carol. Although their connection is poor, Carol cryptically says, “he came back.” When Daryl queries who she’s referring to, the call abruptly ends, leaving viewers like myself scratching our heads, eagerly speculating about the identity of the mysterious returnee.

In the finale of Michonne and Rick’s miniseries titled “The Ones Who Live”, Rick found his long-lost daughter Judith. Given that Carol was referring to someone specific during her radio call, it seems plausible she is discussing Rick and Judith.

During season 2, it’s crucial that Carol and Daryl talk about this matter since we don’t know exactly how Carol learned Rick is alive. If by chance we get a flashback sequence showing Carol reconnecting with Rick, it would excite fans greatly as they are original characters.

Is Laurent immune to the zombie virus?

In contrast to The Last of Us, The Walking Dead has consistently avoided the concept of a cure for the zombie virus and never presented any characters who are immune to it. However, we’re introduced to Laurent, a new character who makes an appearance in Daryl Dixon’s storyline.

In France, some nuns consider him the Messiah, though their rationale remains mostly unclear. Later, they hint that this belief stems from his unique resistance to the virus.

In “Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol,” it’s crucial that the discovery of a possible remedy for the apocalypse serves as a significant plot element. This development is particularly noteworthy because, after the season one finale of The Walking Dead, it seemed there was no hope left that the virus could be contained.

Why are zombies now fighting each other?

In his debut season, Daryl Dixon presented a variety of unique zombie types and depicted them engaging in combat with one another – a concept that was unprecedented prior to this.

In the second season of “The Book of Daryl Dixon (for Daryl Dixon)”: We could delve into an intriguing idea. Given that it would mark a significant shift, imagine if, instead of relentlessly attacking survivors, the zombies were now targeting each other in conflict.

Daryl Dixon’s book, “Carol’s Chronicles,” starts on September 29, 2024. Before we dive into season two, let’s take a look at the journey that led Daryl to France.
