Clémence Poésy and Adam Nagaitis Joining Norman Reedus in the Cast of DARYL DIXON Series at AMC — GeekTyrant

Actors Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter, Tenet) and Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl) are set as leads opposite Norman Reedus in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, AMC’s spinoff from its hit flagship drama series, The Walking Dead. Set after the series conclusion of TWD, the Reedus-led offshoot finds the zombie apocalypse fan favorite transported across the Atlantic to France and a whole new level of a world gone mad.

French actor Poésy will play the female lead Isabelle, a member of a progressive religious group, who joins forces with Daryl (Reedus) on a journey across France and finds herself confronting her dark past in Paris.

Nagaitis protrays Quinn, a displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.

Originally intended to star fellow TWD alum Melissa McBride alongside Reedus, the spinoff saw the actress exit the project in April. Almost simultaneously, TWD showrunner Angela Kang shifted from being the showrunner on Daryl Dixon to an EP, and longtime ER showrunner David Zabel was brought on board.

Two new additional TWD spinoffs are in the works that focus on popular characters from the mothership series, including the New York-set The Walking Dead: Dead City starring Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprising their Maggie and Negan characters, respectively, and the other focused on the Rick and Michonne characters, played by Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira.

The Walking Dead concludes its 11th and final season on November 20th. Are you looking forward to the spinoff series?
