The Walking Dead Star Talks Daryl Dixon’s Future After Season 4
The Walking Dead veteran Norman Reedus has provided fans with a slight glimmer of hope regarding his future in the franchise beyond Daryl Dixon Season 4. In a recent interview, Reedus, who portrays the titular character in The Walking Dead spin-off, noted that even though the Daryl Dixon series will conclude with its upcoming fourth installment, it might not spell the end for his zombie-killing tracker.
Norman Reedus says Daryl Dixon’s story can continue after Season 4 of The Walking Dead spin-off
While speaking with Comic Book Resources about the ongoing third season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Norman Reedus hinted that it is possible for his TWD character to stick around even after the fourth and ultimate season of the show.
“I don’t know. That’s not a decision I make. It was kind of told to us. We kind of perpetuated that it was always the plan, but that really wasn’t the plan. It was kind of the plan in the end,” Reedus said of Season 4 being the final addition to The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon series.
He then expressed uncertainty about Daryl Dixon’s fate in the Walking Dead franchise, suggesting that fans might be able to see his character in a different project in the future. “It might just be this version of this. I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know where we’re going,” the Ballerina star remarked.
Regardless of how things pan out, Reedus remains grateful for his Walking Dead journey. “I’m happy with what we’ve done and where we’re at, but who knows. I have no idea. I didn’t know the main show was going to go past Season 2,” he admitted.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, which premiered its first season in 2023, follows the escapades of Reedus’ titular character after he washes ashore in France after the events of the main series. The spin-off has dropped three seasons so far and is scheduled to wrap up with a confirmed fourth installment.
