The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Spoilers: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

Shortly after The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon S01E05: "Deux Amours" dropped, spoilers started hitting. Still want Thursday releases on AMC+?


With the penultimate episode of the first season of AMC's Norman Reedus-starring The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon currently streaming on AMC+, we thought now might be a good time to suggest… STAYING THE **** OFF OF SOCIAL MEDIA! Hopefully, this message gets to you ahead of time so that you don't end up in the situation that we were in earlier today. Waking up, logging on, and getting slammed with spoilers for S01E05: "Deux Amours." And we're not talking about spoilers that had "spoiler buffers" and proper warnings. We're talking about screencaps shared in-your-face-style and not leaving a lot to the imagination when it comes to what goes down this week. Making it worse? There was way too much of it coming from folks who've preached about spoilers in the past. At this point, it should go without saying – but here we are. If you don't have to post spoilers… don't. If you feel like you have to post spoilers… don't. If you still feel like you need to post spoilers, then put enough warnings/buffers in place so that someone would have to be actively looking for the spoiler. But for those of you hoping for a Thursday release for "The Ones Who Live" or the second seasons of "Dead City" and "Daryl Dixon" on AMC+ moving forward? Consider what's going on today as a spike to the brain of that idea. AMC Networks was smart to go with a same-day approach – we can't imagine what would've happened if the episode had been streaming since Thursday. So the next time you wonder why we "can't have nice things"? Today's your answer…

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon E05: "Deux Amours" Preview

In The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon S01E05: "Deux Amours" (written by Jason Richman & David Zabel), Daryl (Norman Reedus) faces old demons, recalling the circumstances that landed him in France; Isabelle's (Clémence Poésy) sacrifice forces her to consider drastic measures; Genet (Anne Charrier) commences a celebration for the people of Paris. Now, here's a look back at the official episode trailer and preview images that were released last week:

AMC's TWD: DD Spinoff Series Overview

With the next new episode of AMC & AMC+'s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon hitting on October 1st, we have a rundown on what we've seen of the series ahead of its debut – kicking off with a look back at the official trailer:

In the middle of watching the Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Lauren Cohan-starring The Walking Dead: Dead City, we found ourselves suddenly getting a look at Daryl (Reedus) entering Paris via a boat ride along the Seine. The two things most striking about the teaser are that it's the first one that showed a more settled Daryl instead of him suffering and that the Eiffel Tower has definitely seen better days:

In the clip that was released during the previous weekend, things were not going too well for Daryl when it came to what appeared to be his extended "visit" to France. Beginning with a look at some castle ruins, the focus shifted to a look at Daryl strapped to a bed and clearly in some kind of altered state. We're going to assume he was drugged – especially when that blazing-hot poker makes its way onto Daryl's skin. Was it for his own good – or was Daryl being branded as part of something "bigger"? Let me just say that when you throw surgical tools and nuns into the mix, there are about a hundred different ways this could go – here's a look:

In AMC & AMC+'s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Daryl (Reedus) washes ashore in France and struggles to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan. Joining Reedus & McBride in the cast are Clémence Poésy as Isabelle, Adam Nagaitis as Quinn, Anne Charrier as Genet, Eriq Ebouaney as Fallou, Laika Blanc-Francard as Sylvie, Romain Levi as Codron, and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi as Laurent. Now, here's a look back at more teasers & first look at the spinoff series:

With TWD CCO Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner David Zabel, Reedus, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, and Daniel Percival executive producing, here's a look back at the previously-released teaser for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon as well as a look behind the scenes at the production and more:

In the following behind-the-scenes featurette, the cast & series creators discuss what fans can expect from the spinoff series and how it opens the doors to another perspective on "The Walking Dead" universe:
