The Walking Dead may have aired its last episode in 2022, but the franchise is far from dead - or undead, as the case may be. Spinoff shows like The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and The Walking Dead: Dead City have kept the franchise alive (as well as the fans who keep tuning in). However, all things must come to an end, and it’s only a matter of time before the last episode of the franchise airs. When that happens, how should the franchise end? Norman Reedus, who has played Daryl Dixon in the original show and in his own spin-off series, has an idea.
“I remember having a conversation early on,” Daryl Dixon actor Norman Reedus tells Popverse’s Grant DeArmitt. “I think it was during the episode that [Greg Nicotero] directed in the snow, and it was [Angela Kang] or someone asked me, ‘How do you want this show to end?’ And I go, everybody dies. And the world’s burning, and all of our friends are in slow motion saving each other, and I go, ‘Carol, get on the bike.’ And we just take off. And we can’t go back because everybody’s dead, and we just go see who’s left. Let’s just ride and see who’s left in the world. We had playlists for it and all this stuff. That was early on.”
