From The Walker Report:
Daryl Dixon’s unexpected journey to France led him to protect a prophesied child while battling enhanced zombies. Talk about a rough vacation – Daryl Dixon somehow ends up stranded in France after an unexpected boat ride. But instead of just hitting the tourist spots, he gets tangled up with the Union of Hope and their mysterious chosen one, a kid named Laurent. Classic Daryl – can’t help but become everyone’s reluctant guardian angel.
Carol’s relentless search for Daryl took her across the Atlantic with help from a grieving father named Ash. Back in familiar territory, Carol’s doing what she does best – being absolutely terrifying when she needs answers. The hunt for Daryl takes her down some dark paths, but she finds an unlikely ally in Ash, a father who lost his son and understands her determination. Together, they hatch a plan to cross the Atlantic and track down their missing Dixon.
After an action-packed reunion in France, the apocalyptic duo now faces new challenges in the Spanish countryside. Because these two can’t have a normal reunion over coffee, Daryl and Carol’s paths finally cross in the middle of chaos. But would we want it any other way? Their partnership, forged through years of apocalyptic mayhem, proves as strong as ever even on foreign soil.
Season 3 sees our survivors desperately trying to find their way home while being pulled deeper into European territory. Our survivors are trying to find their way home, but in true Walking Dead fashion, the path forward leads them even further from where they started. Between bustling Spanish streets and mysterious horseback riders, at least they’re lost together this time.
Here’s what creator David Zabel said about this new show:
“I was excited for that kind of storytelling that wasn’t so expository. Norman, as an actor, relishes the idea of living in a world without ‘speechifying.’ That’s how he wants to play drama. The challenge is to put people around him who have stories that are compelling, that draw him into their story. He’s not looking to get into other people’s lives, and he’s not talking, so people have to be irresistible to him, for him to resonate with them. He’s the reluctant hero but he’s got a heart that makes him hard to walk away.”
The Walking Dead’s most enduring partnership continues to evolve as Daryl and Carol face enhanced walkers and uncertain allies in foreign lands. This spin-off succeeds because it builds on what fans always loved – Daryl and Carol’s ride-or-die friendship. Whether they’re fighting enhanced zombies in France or exploring Spain’s zombie-filled countryside, their complex dynamic remains the heart of the story.
