The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Writers Revealed
By CAMERON BONOMOLO - July 3, 2023 03:59 pm EDT
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon deliberately doesn't look like The
Walking Dead. As shown by the first footage from the spin-off,
"The tone is much different, the [look is] much different. The
lighting's different," star Norman Reedus previously told
ComicBook. "We're in castles, and the storyline has a religious
vibe to it. Part of the story is me around a bunch of people
speaking French." If AMC's Walking Dead spin-off set in
post-apocalyptic France doesn't look or sound anything like The
Walking Dead, it's because there's new blood in the writers'
room assembled by executive producer and showrunner David Zabel.
The ER veteran joined the NBC series in its eighth season as an
executive story writer before becoming executive producer and
showrunner for seasons 11�15 of the medical drama. Zabel, whose
television writing credits include episodes of JAG, Star Trek:
Voyager, and Dark Angel, also developed the short-lived ABC
drama Lucky 7 with Jason Richman and co-created with Lisa Q.
Wolfinger the Civil War-set medical drama Mercy Street for PBS.
A listing on the Writers Guild of America database reveals the
five writers who penned the six-episode first season of The
Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, including Zabel, who penned the pilot
episode. The newcomers to the Walking Dead Universe are Zabel's
Lucky 7 and Mercy Street collaborator Richman, ER and Lucky 7
story editor Shannon Goss, Laura Snow, and French writer Coline
Abert.
Episode 1 is written by Zabel, whose credits include the ABC
affair drama Betrayal, crime-drama Detroit 1-8-7, and
crime-drama Stumptown
Episode 2 is co-written by Zabel & Richman, who created the
Cobie Smulders-led Stumptown and co-created Lucky 7 with Zabel.
Along with episodes of Detroit 1-8-7 and Mercy Street, Richman
wrote the 2008 films Swing Vote and Bangkok Dangerous
Episode 3 is scripted by Coline Abert, writer of the French
romantic dramedy series Plus belle la vie, the French political
thriller series The Bureau, and the supernatural drama Les
Revenants (The Returned). Most recently, Abert penned the "Like
Angels Put in Hell by God" episode of Anne Rice's Interview with
the Vampire for AMC
Episode 4 is written by Shannon Goss, a television veteran whose
credits include episodes of ER, Harry's Law, Lucky 7, ABC drama
Revenge, Reign, STARZ' Outlander, and AMC's supernatural horror
anthology series The Terror
Episode 5 is written by Zabel & Richman
Episode 6 is penned by Richman & Laura Snow, a staff writer on
NBC's short-lived drama Ordinary Joe, which chronicled one man's
three parallel lives
The official logline: "Daryl 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."
Former Walking Dead showrunners and executive producers Scott M.
Gimple and Angela Kang developed the series, originally planned
as the Daryl & Carol spin-off starring Reedus and Melissa
McBride. After Kang and McBride both exited the spin-off in
April 2022, it was reworked to focus on Daryl being marooned in
Europe. (McBride has since been spotted filming with Reedus in
France.)
Gimple and Kang serve as executive producers on Daryl Dixon,
alongside Zabel, longtime Walking Dead director-producer-makeup
artist Greg Nicotero, Brian Bockrath (Fear the Walking Dead, The
Walking Dead: Dead City), and Daniel Percival (The Man in the
High Castle, Hot Zone).
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is slated to premiere this fall on
AMC and AMC+.
