After the recent announcement that zombie spinoff series The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will be released exclusively on Sky and NOW this month, as well as all eleven series being released on the channel, it’s also been announced that another popular spin off from The Walking Dead franchise is coming soon to the platform with The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol set to air exclusively on Sky Max and NOW, in line with the US launch.
In anticipation of the six-episode, second series, viewers will also be able to binge the entire first season – The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – on Sky Max and NOW from August.
“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,” said Lucy Criddle, Director of Acquisitions and Strategic Projects at Sky UK. “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 Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa 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 series stars Reedus, McBride, Clémence Poésy, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Laika Blanc Francard, Charrier, Romain Levi and Eriq Ebouaney.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol will air on Sky Max and NOW in September.
