Fans of The Walking Dead are thrilled to see the latest instalment of the franchise makes its UK debut. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is the latest spin-off from the hit horror series and follows fan favourite Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) as he washes up on the shores of France.
Known for his crossbow and motorbike, Daryl finds himself on the continent after being kidnapped from America for reasons unknown. After managing to escape the ship he was brought onto, Daryl finds himself in the country that’s home to the source of the zombie outbreak and in need of a way home.
Like Daryl Dixon, the opening season is finally airing on Sky and available to stream on Now TV. But what is the future of the show? We find out below and beware of spoilers.
