- The “Carol-Daryl Spin-off” becomes the “Daryl Spin-off”.
- “The Walking Dead” star Melissa McBride is no longer part of the announced new zombie series.
- Whether her character Carol will ever appear again in the zombie universe in the future seems questionable.
- The upcoming spin-off will now focus solely on Norman Reedus and his iconic character Daryl.
The “The Walking Dead” universe is shocked. As various US industry journals unanimously report, series star Melissa McBride (plays Carol) is leaving the announced “Carol Daryl spin-off”. “Logistics problems” are said to be the reason for this. The zombie series spin-off will now focus solely on Norman Reedus’ Daryl.
According to the official statement, the background to the shocking decision is that the new “The Walking Dead” series will be produced in Europe from this summer. As stated in a statement by “The Walking Dead” broadcaster AMC (via Deadline), be it Melissa McBride “became logistically impossible to relocate to Europe at this point.”
It goes on to say that Melissa McBride is “regrettably no longer able to be a part of the previously announced spin-off.” AMC understands fans’ disappointment and “very much hopes to see Carol again in the future.”
A “Daryl spin-off” in Europe – what can fans expect in the new “The Walking Dead” series?
There had been rumors before that Melissa McBride would be leaving the announced “Carol Daryl spin-off” for “creative reasons”.
The new series, which is now only focused on Daryl, will most likely be significantly different due to the change of location to Europe. There are a whole range of new possibilities here – and the landscape and setting will probably differ greatly from “The Walking Dead”. After all, the zombie series has so far only played in the USA.
Whether the plot of the “Daryl spin-off” will be moved from the United States to Europe is not yet known.
Upcoming “The Walking Dead” series: Here’s what the future holds
In addition to the “Daryl spin-off”, zombie friends can also look forward to “Isle of the Dead” with Maggie and Negan in New York and the anthology series “Tales of the Walking Dead”.
