       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+.
