Plans for the anticipated spinoff series “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” featuring beloved characters Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride), took an unexpected turn when it was announced a year ago that McBride would be departing the main series. However, exciting news has emerged indicating that McBride may make an appearance in the spinoff after all, thanks to a revelation from Jeffrey Dean Morgan, star of “The Walking Dead: Dead City.”

Morgan took to Twitter, sharing a photo of McBride and Reedus in character, expressing, “Well well. We’re sorry Norman… for talking oodles of shit to you when we thought Melissa wasn’t doing the show! Golly… this must have been in the works for ages! (It was from the start) Goddamn, it’s great seeing these two together!”

Morgan’s tweet refers to the backlash Reedus received due to McBride’s departure while hinting that McBride will reprise her role as Carol in some capacity, as evidenced by the on-set photo.

Regarding confirmed details, Anne Charrier (“The Last Deadly Mission”), Eriq Ebanouey (“Fox Hunt”), Laika Blanc Francard (“My Night”), Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, and Romain Levi (“The Tunnel”) have been cast as series regulars in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.”

Recent additions to the spinoff series include Clémence Poésy (“The Essex Serpent”) and Adam Nagaitis (“Chernobyl”) in leading roles, joining Norman Reedus on the screen.

Set after the conclusion of the main series, the offshoot follows Daryl Dixon as he embarks on a new adventure in France, facing a whole new level of post-apocalyptic chaos. Poésy portrays Isabelle, a member of a progressive religious group who teams up with Daryl on a journey across France, forcing her to confront her dark past in Paris. Nagaitis takes on the role of Quinn, a resourceful Brit who has established a position of power in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and owner of the Demimonde, an underground nightclub with a seductive allure.

David Zabel will serve as the showrunner for the “Daryl Dixon” series.

Stay tuned for further updates as they emerge. Meanwhile, “The Walking Dead: Dead City” made its debut earlier this week, with the setting being a notable highlight, according to reviewer Noah Levine.
