What Daryl Dixon’s Location Change Means For Seasons 2 & 3
Daryl Dixonseason 1 endedwith Daryl deciding to stay in France with Isabelle and Laurent, seemingly to continue contributing to the Nest and their survival. However, as season 2 promotional material shows, he is still at war with thePouvoir, who will seemingly discover where him and his group are located in the upcoming episodes. This makes France an incredibly dangerous place to be for him and the people he’s met. Even so, Carol is likely on her way overseas, her appearance a reminder of the home the show’s protagonist left behind.
If season 3 is going to take place in Spain, this means something untoward is going to happen in the upcoming episodes. Whatever transpires,it will be big enough for thecast ofDaryl Dixonto flee Francein its entirety, the country possibly becoming too dangerous for them to stay in. While this could have to do with Laurent being hunted by thePouvoir, it might also be due to a development with variant zombies. While fast and acidic versions have been introduced so far, unexpected dangers could influence the group to start heading for the Iberian Peninsula.
However, the change in filming location doesn’t necessarily mean the show itself is going to change where the characters are. Another spinoff,Dead Cityseason 2, is currently filming in Massachusetts, but will still be taking place in New York City in-universe. However, given the unique architecture of France and its famous locations,it is more likelyDaryl Dixonseason 3 is changing where its characters are too.This means a big shift is coming in season 2, setting the stage for a very different follow-up in the future.
