Being that Daryl is such a popular character in “The Walking Dead” universe, it makes sense that Norman Reedus would have a bit of leverage in his new show. Still, the actor went on to explain that his series would serve as something of a fresh new start for Daryl, despite all of the trauma and horror he endured in the original series.
“It’s kind of a reset for me,” Reedus went on.”Everything kind of breathes in a romantic way. We have the backdrop of France, we have the Catacombs, the Eiffel Tower. … The whole vibe is different.” Taking the franchise to Europe is a smart move for “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” as it will serve to differentiate it from the series that have preceded it.
The actor also hinted that there might be something of a mystery box component to his new series and that the tone might not be quite as severe and punishing as “The Walking Dead” was. “A lot of the story is me trying to figure out what’s happening and how to get out of here,” the actor said. “There’s a lot going on, but it’s super poetic, it’s super beautiful. It’s not a repeat of the same show at all.”
Fans who like the sound of a Daryl Dixon-focused version of their favorite zombie drama can catch “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” when the show premieres this June on AMC.
