And streaming service NOW this September
June 6, 2024 – Hot on the heels of the successful launch of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Sky and streaming service NOW has confirmed that another popular spin off from The Walking Dead franchise is coming soon to the platform.
This September, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol will air exclusively on Sky Max and NOW, in line with the US launch.
In anticipation of the six-episode, second series, customers will also be able to binge the entire first season – The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – on Sky Max and NOW from August.
New images of season two Daryl Dixon, which stars Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride have also been released.
These new launches follow all eleven series of The Walking Dead, as well as The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live becoming available to Sky and NOW customers in spring 2024.
Lucy Criddle, Director of Acquisitions and Strategic Projects at Sky UK said: “The launch of The Walking Dead on Sky and NOW this year has seen a huge number of people fall back in love with this action-packed, post-apocalyptic series, as well as new fans becoming immersed in the franchise.
“We know that our customers love the best of US content, which is why we’re delighted to be the exclusive UK home of Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol from September, and we’ll also have season one available in August.”
The first season, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, follows Dixon’s departure from The Commonwealth as he washes ashore in France, raising the ire of a splinted but growing autocratic movement centered in Paris, and endangering a young boy at the heart of a benevolent religious movement.
Season two picks up where The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon left off, following fan-favourite characters Daryl Dixon (Reedus) and Carol Peletier (McBride). They both confront old demons while she fights to find her friend and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension at the Nest. Additionally, Genet (Anne Charrier)’s movement builds momentum, setting Pouvoir on a violent collision course with the Union of Hope in the fight for France’s future.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol stars Reedus, McBride, Clémence Poésy, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Laika Blanc Francard, Charrier, Romain Levi and Eriq Ebouaney, and is executive produced by showrunner David Zabel, Scott M. Gimple, Reedus, McBride, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, Daniel Percival, Jason Richman and Steve Squillante.
