Zabel discusses crossover limitations and the spinoff’s journey toward the Commonwealth
Summary
– Daryl Dixon season 3 will follow Daryl and Carol’s journey in Spain, potentially leading to the Commonwealth
– Showrunner David Zabel hints that crossovers with characters like Negan are unlikely due to timeline constraints
– A larger franchise crossover event may still be possible, per chief creative officer Scott Gimple
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon spinoff continues expanding its European storyline, with season 3 set to follow Daryl and Carol’s journey in Spain as they aim to reach the Commonwealth. Showrunner David Zabel recently shared insights into the potential for crossovers with other characters, revealing that while he has creative freedom, there are limits. For instance, characters like Negan or Rick Grimes are unlikely to appear in Daryl Dixon due to their established roles in other spinoffs.
Zabel shared that, while Daryl Dixon can reference the broader Walking Dead universe, bringing major characters from other shows would disrupt established timelines. This restriction points to Daryl reconnecting with other characters only after his spinoff concludes. Chief creative officer Scott Gimple has also hinted at a future crossover event that could bring together characters from across The Walking Dead franchise, making it possible that Daryl and his allies may reunite later on.
As Daryl Dixon explores new locations and journeys with Carol, the show maintains its connection to the franchise’s shared universe, even without direct crossovers. Fans can expect a longer journey as Daryl and Carol make their way toward the Commonwealth, with the possibility of future crossovers.
