| 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+. | |
