What is Daryl Dixon about?

The new series will bewill be set after the finale of The Walking Dead, and will see Daryl evading zombies after washing up in France - which is not where we left him at the end of season 11.

Earlier this year at New York Comic Con, Reedus said of the show: "It's in France. It's epic in scale. It’s crazy what we're gonna do. I think France is gonna have a f**king heart attack, which is good, which is what I want. It has a different look and a different feel, a different sound to it.

"It has all the things that you like about the show, but new people experiencing them and in a different kind of way."

Reedus also teased that "there'll be a lot of familiar faces", so who knows who would possibly show up from the original Walking Dead cast?

One fan theory suggests we could see Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes in the show, after the actor was spotted in France in October of last year, around the time the show was starting production. However, whether this is the case or he was simply there on holiday remains to be seen.

Daryl Dixon cast - Who will star in the Walking Dead spin-off?

Here's a full list of the confirmed cast so far for Daryl Dixon:

• Norman Reedus: Daryl Dixon.
• Clémence Poésy: Isabelle.
• Adam Nagaitis: Quinn.
• Anne Charrier: Genet.
• Eriq Ebouaney: Fallou.
• Laika Blanc Francard: Sylvie.
• Romain Levi: Codron.
• Louis Puech Scigliuzzi: Laurent.

The show wouldn't be called Daryl Dixon without the return of one Norman Reedus, reprising his character from the original show. He will be joined in the series by new cast members Clémence Poésy (The Essex Serpent) and Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl).

Poésy will be playing Isabelle, a member of a progressive religious group who joins forces with Daryl. They go on a journey across France, and she reportedly confronts her own dark past in Paris.

Meanwhile, Nagaitis will be playing British character Quinn, who has been displaced and become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer. He is also the owner of an underground nightclub, called the Demimonde.

The series was also at one point set to star Melissa McBride as her Walking Dead character Carol Peletier, but she dropped out, reportedly because the shoot moved to Europe and became "logistically untenable" for her.
