The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
Even heroes need saving.
Created by David Zabel
On AMC
A survival-driven action drama that pairs zombie-apocalypse grimness with character-focused storytelling, grounded in Daryl's protective bond with a child and his struggle to return home.
After washing ashore in France, Daryl struggles to piece together how he got there and why, as he navigates a fractured, walker-infested landscape to find his way home. During his journey, Daryl has to protect a young boy, Laurent, who is seen as a messiah, while facing new, dangerous walker variants and the "Power of the Living" paramilitary group, as the connections he forms along the way complicate his plan to return home.
