New Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 Trailer Outright Spoils How Carol Gets To France
Summary
Since Rick awoke in the hospital,The Walking Deadhas always had a somewhat confusing timeline, andThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonhas not made it any simpler. WithDaryl Dixonseason 2hoping to reunite Norman Reedus' Daryl with Melissa McBride’s Carol, the show will need to reckon with a timeline that allows Carol to reach a devastated France, despite lacking access to many modern amenities.
Thankfully,Daryl Dixoncreator David Zabel is opening up about exactly where the show sits in the timeline. In an interview withCollider, Zabel described where the events of season 2 will begin. The creator explained thatseason 2 will start exactly where season 1 left off, specifically stating that it would be “the same day” as the season 1 finale. He also explained that Daryl’s adventures take place only a few months afterThe Walking Deadended. Check out his full quote below:
It’s the same day, pretty much. Also, because people do ask this sometimes, our entire series really continues off at the endof The Walking Dead. When we met Daryl at the beginning of this show, it was only three or four weeks after he left the Commonwealth on his bike. Now,we’re only two months or three months after the end ofThe Walking Dead.
Daryl’s spinoff may be simple, but other spinoffs complicate the timeline.
Zabel’s comments have undoubtedly brought some clarity toDaryl Dixon’s timeline. Both seasons of the show are expected to occupythe same general position on the timeline, and they are set shortly afterThe Walking Dead’s season 11 finale. The overall structure of the franchise, however, is not quite as simple. Because of the existence of so many sequel shows and the various prequels,The Walking Dead’s timelineis not nearly as simple as it was when there was only a single show.

The Walking Dead franchise has expanded far past the original show, and this means that there is more than one way for viewers to watch the series.
Fear the Walking Deadbegan in 2010 and takes place several months beforethe mainline show began. The show continues for several months, before it takes an enormous two-year leap forward in season 4.The Walking Dead, however, remained in that same timespan of 2010 to 2012 for eight seasons. The show did abandon that range after the season 9 time jump. Season 9 then had two more jumps that saw the show leaping into 2021. Season 11 ended in 2023, whereDarylis currently set.

The other spin-offs have only made the timeline more muddled.The Walking Dead: World Beyondis set in 2020,Tales Of The Walking Deadtakes place from 2011 to 2025,Dead Cityis set in 2029, andThe Ones Who Liveruns from 2020 to 2023. The story now stretches for over 20 years, andthe characters are now completely scatteredaround the globe. WithThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixoncompounding its timeline complications, the world of Walkers and fighters will likely only become more difficult to understand.
