The Walking Deadhas produced three spinoff shows since the main show concluded, and after watching them, I believe one new character will die. DespiteThe Walking Deadending in 2022, the franchise has continued through various spinoff shows, each following characters from the original series. So far, I’ve enjoyed each new story as they’ve managed to rediscover some of the magic that made the franchise so special. They all have their own individual traits and qualities that make them stand out, butThe Walking Dead’s spinoffs have also repeated similar storylines, making me confident about one character’s death.
With the ongoing shows taking place in fresh locations, I’m not surprised to see so many new additions to the zombie series. Although the protagonists are familiar, the spinoffs have introduced a variety of villains and supporting characters that haven’t been seen previously in the franchise.The Ones Who Livealso utilized unexpected cameos like Gabrieland Jadis, but the cast still predominantly consisted of new survivors, which was also the case inDaryl DixonandDead City. However, despite the abundance of fresh faces,I think one ofDaryl Dixon’s upcoming additions may die based on the previous spinoffs.
10 The Walking Dead Spinoff Characters Who Must Return In Future Shows
The Walking Dead spinoffs, like Fear the Walking Dead and Tales of the Walking Dead, have introduced characters who need to return in the future.
Carol Will Meet A New Character, Ash, In Daryl Dixon Season 2
Daryl Dixon Season 2’s Trailer Teased Ash Helping Carol On Her Journey To France
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonis set to introduce a new character named Ash, who will cross paths with Carol in season 2. WhileDaryl Dixon’s trailer left many parts of the upcoming story a mystery, it seemed to revealhow Carol gets to France in season 2, with Ash being the pivotal factor. The teaser showed Ash and Carol boarding a plane, indicating the spinoff’s new character is some sort of pilot.Having access to a plane instantly makes Ash intriguing and his pilot skills suggest he will be a valuable survivor, meaning he could have a big role.
Given the trailer also teased Carol and Daryl’s reunion, it’s clear Ash’s plane will provide some sort of success in season 2, confirming his importance to the plot. Although his alliance with Carol means he will be significant in the first few episodes, I’m still not confident he’ll make it out of the show alive. All signs point to Ash being a resourceful survivor who is capable of handling himself, but having watched the previous spinoff shows, I don’t believe that’ll be enough to avoid an unfortunate fate inDaryl Dixonseason 2.
Despite how much I’ve enjoyed the franchise’s new spinoffs, they have shared a trend that makes me fear for Ash inDaryl Dixonseason 2. The recent shows have thrived when it comes to cinematography and character dynamics, but they haven’t done a great job of treating their new additions with much care.The Walking Deadspinoffs have wasted several new characters, and killing most of its fresh faces has become a bad habit.Dead Citykept some of its supporting cast alive heading into season 2, but the likes of Tommaso and Amaia were discarded after serving their purpose.
Rick and Michonne’s spinoff killed off pretty much every important new addition.
The duo seemed like they could be crucial to Negan and Maggie’s journey, but were killed off in quick succession once helping the protagonists with their objectives.The Ones Who Livewas even worse for this, as Michonne’s group of allies were all wiped out within one episode, whilethe key CRM introductions like Okafor, Thorne, and Major General Beale all met their demise before the show ended. Rick and Michonne’s spinoff killed off pretty much every important new addition, which is why I think Ash may struggle to survive inDaryl Dixon, but there is a silver lining.
One Reason Ash Might Actually Survive In Daryl Dixon Season 2
Daryl Dixon Season 1 Did A Great Job Of Making Its New Additions Important
Dead CityandThe Ones Who Livewere extremely comfortable getting rid of its new characters, butDaryl Dixontreated them with more care, which could be key to Ash’s survival. Although the spinoff killed off the likes of Quinn and Azlan, their deaths had a big impact on the story andDaryl Dixonwas far less trigger-happy with killing off its survivors compared to the other shows. The likes of Laurent, Isabelle, Sylvie, Fallou, and Emile all felt like crucial allies who were kept around heading into season 2, proving the series won’t just kill Ash for shock value.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonhas officially been renewed for season 3.
Even Genet and Codron both survived despite being the show’s main villains, withDaryl Dixonseason 2 even teasing a Codron redemptionarc, which suggests there are big plans for the cast. Therefore, I do think Ash may still have a decent chance at survival, simply because Daryl’s spinoff has treated its supporting characters much better than the other projects. However, with season 2 likely having even bigger stakes alongsideDead CityandThe Ones Who Livesetting a worrying trend, I still have my doubts that Ash will have a long-term future inThe Walking Dead.
