In April, AMC revealed that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 will be renamed The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol… although at the time, the new title didn’t have a dash. Now, AMC has set a fall premiere date for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, which will arrive just over a year after the first season’s debut.
Via Deadline, the Season 2 premiere is scheduled for September 29 on AMC and AMC+. The series was originally conceived as a showcase for Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride’s popular duo, Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier. However, McBride pulled out of the show prior to production and the series was retooled to focus on Reedus’ character. McBride ended up coming back to the project at the end of the first season and her character now shares top billing in the title with Daryl.
Carol brings Daryl’s bike to a stop in a scene from The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol.
As part of the shift in direction, Carol has her own storyline in Season 2. In the Season 1 finale, Carol was already looking for Daryl when she came across the man who had his signature motorcycle. Carol doesn’t realize yet that Daryl was kidnapped and taken to France, but she’s following the clues to his fate from her side of the Atlantic Ocean.
