Daryl Dixon’s creators want the Walking Dead spinoff to return to the show’s glory years
Considering how much the cast would later expand, growing to include various factions and hierarchies of leadership, returning to the first few seasons ofThe Walking Dead can feel a bit refreshing. The premiere episode especially, which saw series figurehead Rick Grimes trying to survive in a zombified hellscape, is a remarkably stripped-down approach in comparison to what would come later. It’s a feeling Greg Nicotero, special makeup effects expert and co-founder of KNB EFX Group, would try to recapture when working on the latest spinoff, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, which premieres Sept. 10 on AMC.
