The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Flips an Iconic TWD Scene in Exclusive Clip

by

One memorable scene from “The Walking Dead” that has remained impactful throughout the series is the first appearance of the chilling message, “Don’t Open. Dead Inside,” spray-painted on a hospital cafeteria door during the pilot episode. As Rick Grimes struggles to understand his post-coma world, this ominous warning serves as an unsettling introduction to zombies for both him and viewers. This scene has spawned numerous memes over the years, but its haunting impact persists even today. In preparation for the premiere of “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” Season 3 on September 7th, the spinoff is adding a fresh twist to this classic moment from the original series.

The popular series ComicBook has released an exclusive sneak peek of Daryl Dixon’s third season opener. The scene continues shortly after the conclusion of Season 2, where characters Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier traversed the Channel Tunnel, traveling from France to England. Upon reaching Britain, they approach a decommissioned Westminster checkpoint, where they spot the graffiti “Keep Out” on a nearby wall. You can watch the clip here:

Everything New Coming to Daryl Dixon in Season 3

In the marketing materials for Season 3 of “Daryl Dixon,” it’s been revealed that the storyline will take a turn and be set in Spain this time. Daryl and Carol are expected to cross paths with a diverse group of new characters in Spain. Actors Eduardo Noriega, Oscar Jaenada, Alexandra Masangkay, Candela Saitta, and Hugo Arbues portray these fresh faces that Daryl and Carol will meet along their journey. However, before they reach Spain, they will first travel through England, where one of the major cast additions is set to appear.

In his career, Stephen Merchant has accumulated numerous credits in films and television shows. In a new role, he’s portraying a character labeled as “the last Englishman in England,” suggesting that the U.K. has been severely affected by a zombie apocalypse to an extent beyond what Daryl and Carol could have envisioned. It appears their journey through England will be devoid of many friendly encounters. The intrigue lies in how Merchant’s character intertwines with the plot, as his last surviving Englishman could provide valuable insights into how England managed the outbreak, enriching the world-building within “The Walking Dead” universe.

It’s not entirely certain if “Sod Off” is intended as a reference to the well-known phrase “Don’t Open. Dead Inside” from The Walking Dead, but it does seem to draw inspiration from that notable scene. While “Don’t Open. Dead Inside” served as a serious warning meant to protect as many lives as possible, “Sod Off” appears to be more of a command for someone to leave, with the people of Westminster seemingly indifferent about your destination as long as you depart from there. Given England’s recent hardships, this reaction can perhaps be attributed to their desire for privacy and peace.

In the world of The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes opted to stay clear of the closed hospital door as per the warning inscribed on it. Meanwhile, Daryl and Carol continued their journey without giving heed to the “Keep Off” tag scrawled on a wall. At this juncture, they had grown indifferent towards ambiguous warnings and grouchy Britons. Their primary focus was finding a path back home, and they held faith that Spain could be the key. As for Daryl Dixon’s spin-off series, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, it has been renewed for a fourth and final season, ensuring there’s more compelling storyline to unfold.
