Walking Dead’s Carol & Daryl Spinoff Won’t Be Anything Like the Original Show

The Walking Dead's upcoming Daryl and Carol spinoff won't just be like another episode of the flagship series centered around the two fan favorites.

The Daryl and Carol Walking Dead spinoff will be very different from the flagship show that inspired it. After 11 seasons and 12 years on the air, The Walking Dead is coming to an end with its final batch of episodes. However, the franchise is far from over, with Fear the Walking Dead and World Beyond still airing and more series in the works. From an episodic anthology series set in the universe called Tales of the Waking Dead to films centered around Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes, The Walking Dead franchise is far from done when it comes to delivering content for its fans to devour.

Another spinoff is also in the works and it is centered around two fan-favorite characters that have been around since the beginning of the original series. Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus, is a character original to the show, having not appeared in the graphic novels on which the series is based. Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride), on the other hand, has appeared in the graphic novels, although in a much smaller role than what she eventually flourished into in the series. Daryl and Carol's friendship has been part of the show's heart for quite some time and the brass behind the franchise is looking to continue that after The Walking Dead ends.
