Anyone missing Daryl Dixon from their screens can be reassured that they don’t have long to wait until The Walking Dead’s fan favourite returns – but this time, in a new country.

Simply titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, the solo spin-off series sees Daryl (Norman Reedus) wash ashore in France and struggle to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient natino as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan.

In addition to Reedus, the series stars Clémence Poésy, Adam Nagaitis, Anne Charrier, Eriq Ebouaney, Laika Blanc Francard, Romain Levi and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi and is executive produced by Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner David Zabel, Reedus, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath and Daniel Percival.

The series has already been renewed for a second season by AMC, along with its other spin-off The Walking Dead: Dead City, which follows Maggie and Negan and had its Season 1 finale this week. Daryl Dixon, meanwhile, will premiere on 10th September on AMC in the US, which means you can expect it to debut on 11th September on AMC in the UK.

Said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks: “This next chapter in the Walking Dead Universe continues to thrive with a terrific inaugural season for Dead City and highly anticipated new journey for fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon coming in September. We can’t wait to bring Dead City fans back to the epicenter of Manhattan for more zip-lining action with Maggie and Negan. And, ahead of its debut, we’re thrilled to double down on Daryl as we bring the apocalypse to France, transforming Notre Dame, Pont du Gard and other iconic locales into an apocalyptic landscape unlike anything we’ve seen before.”
