The Walking Dead has unveiled a chilling new fan poster for the upcoming spinoff series, Daryl Dixon. Set in France, the show is set to premiere on September 10th and is part of The Walking Dead Universe, which has continued to captivate audiences even after the flagship show came to an end after 11 seasons. Following the journey of the beloved character Daryl (played by Norman Reedus), the series will explore his new alliances with fellow survivors as he navigates the unfamiliar territory in his quest to return home. Artist Bassel Galal took to Instagram to share the impressive fan poster for the Daryl Dixon spinoff.
How The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon's France Setting Could Affect the Series
In the compelling image, Daryl valiantly battles a Walker amidst a watery terrain, with the iconic Eiffel Tower casting an imposing presence in the distance. The accompanying caption thoughtfully reads, "A stranger in a strange land."
Including an iconic French landmark in this fan poster is a logical choice. The environment surrounding Daryl Dixon sets the new spinoff apart as it will primarily unfold in a foreign country. Other than Fear the Walking Dead, where survivors journeyed to Mexico, the franchise predominantly focuses on events within the contiguous United States.
Daryl's departure from his familiar territory provides an opportunity for the show to explore how a different culture handled the zombie apocalypse. Although it is known that the undead phenomenon is global, little has been discovered beyond that. It was previously mentioned that France was the last outpost to lose communication with the U.S., suggesting that Daryl may uncover long-hidden secrets.
In The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, the setting in France will isolate him from the people he knows and cares for. Despite the possibility of a cameo appearance from his longtime love interest Carol, most of the survivors he encounters will be completely unfamiliar to him. Additionally, language barriers may pose a challenge, further complicating Daryl's quest to uncover the truth about his situation.
