Big news for The Walking Dead fans: The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is getting a second season, but there's a title change. As announced at New York Comic-Con, the second season will henceforth be known as The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol. Series star Norman Reedus announced that Melissa McBride will return as a series regular in the new season, which is filming now.
In a statement, McBride expressed how happy she is to return to the role of Carol. "I’ve known there was much more to be told of Carol’s story as I felt her so unsettled when we last saw her, as she watched her best friend, Daryl, ride away. Apart or (hopefully!) together, their stories run deep, and I’m so excited to continue Carol’s journey here. This team of storytellers have done amazing work to land these two established characters in an entirely new world to them, and I’m loving the discoveries!"
