According to Deadline, Harry Potter alum Clémence Poésy and Chernobyl actor Adam Nagaitis have signed on to join Norman Reedus in AMC’s upcoming The Walking Dead spin-off Daryl Dixon. The series is set to make its debut sometime next year along with two other spin-offs including Dead City and Rick and Michonne.

Poesy is set to portray the female lead named Isabelle, “who is being described as a member of a progressive religious group, who joins forces with Daryl on a journey across France and finds herself confronting her dark past in Paris.”
Meanwhile, Nagaitis will be playing Quinn, “a displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.”
Daryl Dixon will revolve around Norman Reedus’ beloved Walking Dead character as he finds himself in Paris, France. The project was initially set as a Daryl and Carol-centered series. However, Melissa McBride exited the spin-off last April in order to take a break from the franchise following her eleven-year run on the main series.

The Walking Dead is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew, and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived, and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind, and there are more stories to tell.
Based on Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard’s comic series of the same name, the series is executive produced by Kirkman, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert, Joseph Incaprera, Gale Anne Hurd, Denise Huth, and Angela Kang, who is returning as the showrunner for the final installment.
