The Tribeca Film Festival screened the first episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, delivering an incredible start to season 2. As part of The Walking Dead universe, this series holds a special place for fans, especially with the dynamic duo of Carol and Daryl.
Although the series doesn’t premiere until September, fans and journalists witnessed Melissa McBride’s return as Carol Peletier as she searches for her friend, Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus. Without revealing too much, the episode’s tone stays true to both characters’ essence.
Still in America, Carol continues her search for Daryl, who remains in France. Unlike the instant gratification provided by The Ones Who Live, The Book of Carol opts for a slower, more deliberate story structure. This approach may resonate deeply with fans who appreciate a gradual build-up.
The standout aspect of the premiere was seeing Carol back in action. While Daryl’s presence is felt, the episode heavily focuses on McBride’s return to the franchise—a move that will undoubtedly please fans eager to see more of Carol.
A significant appeal of these spinoff shows is reuniting core characters from The Walking Dead. The return of Carol and Daryl in the same show brings a sense of familiarity that season 1 lacked, highlighting fans’ deep connection with these characters. The first episode felt like a nostalgic trip back to the early days, with Carol and Daryl working towards a common goal despite being apart.
Waiting months for the second episode feels agonizing after such a strong start. The premiere effectively reintroduces Carol and sets the stage for the rest of the season, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s next in The Book of Carol.
