After a capsized Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France, he struggles to piece together how he got there and why. His arrival in France raises the ire of leaders within an autocratic movement centered in Paris, and endangers a young boy at the heart of a benevolent religious movement called the Union of Hope. Daryl agrees to shepherd the child and his caretakers on their pilgrimage to the Nest, a sanctuary that promises safety, in return for the Union's help securing him passage back to America. The series tracks Daryl's journey, fighting his way through the unique Walker strains and provincial violence of France. Along the way, Daryl finds his desire to return home complicated by the new connections he forms and the renewed sense of hope these relationships give him. Meanwhile, back in America, Carol Peletier's search for Daryl forces her to confront old trauma, as she enlists a new ally under false pretenses to help her.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Centering Norman Reedus' fan favorite character in a fresh setting, Daryl Dixon can be a wobbly shot across the crossbow but still gives The Walking Dead faithful plenty more to chew on.

Lucy Mangan Guardian More importantly, new protagonist Isabelle feels real and not just another Walking Dead chess piece being moved around the gory board, and her relationship with Daryl feels equally so. It is nice to have something to care about after so long. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture The overwhelming sense of Daryl Dixon is that we’ve seen all this before, whether in The Walking Dead franchise or in other zombie-akin series that debuted in its wake. Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com Zabel and the writers' greater accomplishment is the way they've accounted for our fatigue with the original show's kill-or-be-killed survival philosophy, which rusted into a grind by its close. Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Shay McBryde Show Snob The hope to survive against insurmountable obstacles. The hope to triumph in a defeated world. Rated: B Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Rich Cross Starburst Daryl Dixon is a truly distinctive new take on the show’s core idea that makes extraordinarily effective use of its urban and rural French locations... Rated: 5/5 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent It delivers exactly what everyone has come to expect: the same old same old without a smidgen of originality.

Steve A Love this new off-shoot of Walking Dead....Really Good! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Nesrin U Laurent as the New 'messiah' iş laughable. This is not the walkin death - it's bad fanficdion in a cathedrel 🙄🙄🤮 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good but also very unrealistic compared to the original show, has a lot more "video game" type of logic and zombies than what you're used to. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Julian D Why the Hate?? It Was great Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Al D Only good for TWD fans. The show really lost something once Daryl and Rick were no longer a team. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Audience Member Smooth, unhurried narration with a good plot, well-written minor characters that are interesting to follow. Many people say that there is not enough dynamism, but as for me, on the contrary, it has a bad effect on the series. Also, some people note that they allegedly do not see anything new in the events of the series, but as for me, this is just a new independent part of the story that was so missed. In the same spin-off about Negan and Maggie, the plot was too dynamic and sharp with the addition of many undisclosed minor characters who absolutely don't care, only some are memorable. At the end of the season, there is a scene with the disclosure of the antagonist by doing a good deed, which is also a plus. The story reveals Daryl's personality well.
