The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon star Norman Reedus has made a bold claim about the upcoming season finale. The actor believes Season 2’s final episode will be unparalleled in the entire franchise’s history.

Reedus shared his thoughts during a recent interview with Collider, where he also discussed his role in the forthcoming film, The Bikeriders. The actor conveyed a deep commitment to his character, Daryl Dixon, stressing his desire to ensure the character concludes his arc in a fitting manner, saying:

I think it’s got some time left in it. I want that character to end correctly. It started correctly and I put too much work into it to be a drone shot waving goodbye. You know what I mean? I want him to get his justice.

Reedus recalled the fervor that ensued in France following the promotional campaigns, describing the fan response as “bananas.” This international acclaim hints at the broad fan base that eagerly follows Daryl’s adventures. He assured the fans that the finale for Season 2 will be the most thrilling one-hour segment in the history of The Walking Dead universe.

“It still has a huge fan base. I get mobbed all the time because of that show. In France, when the posters went up, it was bananas. We’re about to start Season 3, but I will say the finale of Season 2 is the best one-hour Walking Dead anything ever. I’ve said it in press before. I stick to it. It’s mind-blowing.”

The series, a spinoff from the immensely popular The Walking Dead, has quickly established itself as a fan favorite. Its renewal for a second season before the first even aired shows the confidence AMC has in the character’s appeal. With the announcement of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, set to premiere on September 29, fans are eager to dive back into the lives of Daryl and his close companion, Carol, first introduced in the original series.

Carol’s Quest Unfolds in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol will be a continuation of Daryl and the crew’s saga. The first season finale left viewers on a cliffhanger, with Melissa McBride’s character, Carol, reappearing in pursuit of a stolen motorcycle that belonged to Daryl, played by Reedus. As Carol presumably heads overseas in search of Daryl, the storyline teases a significant expansion of the show’s universe. Meanwhile, Daryl faces a monumental decision in France: whether to continue his fight abroad or return to American soil.

Fans would love cameos from Rick and Michonne from The Ones Who Live on The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, but it all hinges on timelines syncing up.

Showrunner David Zabel revealed to Entertainment Weekly that Season 2 will largely explore Carol’s efforts to reconnect with Daryl. Besides her external mission, Carol’s storyline will dive into more personal territory, revealing layers of her character that have been merely suggested until now.

“[Carol] has a very active story that’s about her trying to find and protect her friend, who she’s worried about. But she also has this internal story, which we’ve only hinted at, but there’s a whole internal Carol story that plays out across the episodes of Season 2. And so she has a great dual track that we’re setting her off on, and we’ve shot some of that already, and it’s going to be fantastic when it’s all together.”

The cast for the new season includes not only the familiar faces of Reedus and McBride but also brings back Clémence Poésy, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Anne Charrier, Romain Levi, and Eriq Ebouaney. Their involvement suggests that the upcoming episodes will be a complex link of old and new relationships.
