The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has cast UK coဣmedy legend Stephen Merchant in the upcoming third season of the AMC spin-off.
"As a fa🍸n of ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’, I was excited when they asked me to join the [The Walking Dead] universe for season 3. But don’t ask me for🌃 spoilers - my lips are sealed," Merchant wrote on .
As you can imagine from the spoiler lockdown initiated in the announcement, we don't ಌyet know who Merchant is playing in the♕ third season, which is currently filming in Spain.
Merchant is best known among UK comedy fans as the co-writer and co-director of The Office and Extras alongside Ricky Gervais. He also had memorable turns in Logan, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jojo Rabbit, and as the AI companion Wheatley ꧟in the video game Port🤡al 2.
The second season of The Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon spin-off is currently airing and follows on from Daryl's (Norman Reedus) journey through France and attempts to get back home. Along the way, he encounters nun Isabelle (Clémence Poésy) and child Lau🐭rent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi) amid a winding tale of religious fanaticism and, yes, plenty of walkers.
Melissa McBride's Carol 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ha꧋s returned to The Wa💟lking Dead universe for the second season as she goes off in search༺ of Daryl. Carol is also part of the third season, which swaps France for Spain and – given Merchant's castingꦗ – may yet have some scenes set in the UK.
Speaking to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine, showrunner David Zabel explains 𝓀why Carol and Daryl will never become a couple, despite their obvious conne🍌ction.
"The obvious thing to do, and the easier thing to do would be, 'Okay, now they're falling in love and they're a couple.' But I always felt like that would be a mistake, because it wo♛uld feel like you were going into the TV book of tricks," Zabel says. "To me🤪, there was never a question that [their connection] was something other than what it is, and what it seems to want to be, and why it works so well."
