Everybody gets a “Book of” these days. (Yes, I’m looking at you, Boba Fett.) This summer, Carol (Melissa McBride) returns to the world of The Walking Dead in—take a deep breath—The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon—The Book of Carol.
It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it? But even a person who gave up on the original TWD many, many seasons back might feel a small twinge of excitement at the little teaser that AMC released for this series. Carol was always one of the best parts of the original series, and now she’s back, having turned up in the very end of Daryl Dixon‘s first-season finale. And she seems very determined to find her friend.
AMC released a short clip that follows up on that last scene—one that begins with Daryl (Norman Reedus), who is, per usual, in a nasty spot of trouble. (Good thing all the guys on his side have really good aim.) The focus then switches to Carol, who tries to play nice with a bunch of strangers, asking about a bike that once belonged to Daryl. The strangers are not forthcoming, and Carol switches tactics—with the help of a conveniently placed crossbow.
The logline for the season doesn’t say much that isn’t implied by these scenes: “The new season picks up where The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon left off, with both confronting old demons while Carol struggles to find her friend and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension at the Nest.”
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon—The Book of Carol premieres this summer (they haven’t gotten more specific yet) on AMC and AMC+.
