Here's Your First Look at 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol'

Of all the relationships on the original The Walking Dead series, Daryl and Carol was many fans’ favorite. Although they were never a couple, their deep bond and complete support for each other had some critics labeling them “the best platonic couple on TV.” Given this, it made sense that a spin-off show with Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride reprising their characters was one of the first post-TWD series that AMC announced. However, McBride was unable to participate in the first season due to logistical reasons around the show’s European shoot.
