The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 release schedule: When new episodes come out in the US and UK

It's been a year since The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon impressed viewers with its stunning cinematography and intriguing extension of the TWD story. The second of three new spinoffs set in the TWD Universe, the show brought back Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon explored new territories that the original AMC series couldn't show us. One of those new locations was France, where he met a young boy named Laurent, who he was assigned to protect at all costs.

The second season is now upon us and it seems like it's going to be even more exciting. Melissa McBride is back as Carol Peletier, as the TWD favorite searches for her best friend. Fans are ready to see their beloved "Caryl" reunite on-screen, and after the closing scene from the first season essentially told us that it's going to happen at some point, season 2 - subtitled "The Book of Carol" - will make that happen.

If you're ready and would like to know when you can expect to tune into new episodes of the show, here's what you need to know.
