“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” – First Footage Previews the Norman Reedus Spinoff Series

Published

on

AMC’s “The Walking Dead” franchise returns with new spinoff “The Walking Dead: Dead City” next month, and it’s not the only brand new spinoff series on the way soon.

The universe of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” will also expand beyond the confines of the main show with “Daryl Dixon,” a series starring Norman Reedus that’s now in production.

AMC has shared some first-look footage this week. Check it out below.

Anne Charrier (“The Last Deadly Mission”), Eriq Ebanouey (“Fox Hunt”), Laika Blanc Francard (“My Night”), Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, and Romain Levi (“The Tunnel”) have been cast as series regulars in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.”

Clémence Poésy (The Essex Serpent) and Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl) recently came on board the spinoff series in leading roles, starring alongside Norman Reedus.

“Set after the series conclusion of TWD, the Reedus-led offshoot finds the zombie apocalypse fan favorite transported across the Atlantic to France and a whole new level of a world gone mad. Poesy will play the female lead Isabelle, a member of a progressive religious group, who joins forces with Daryl on a journey across France and finds herself confronting her dark past in Paris. Nagaitis protrays Quinn, a displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.”

David Zabel will serve as showrunner for the Daryl Dixon series.

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
