The Walking Dead Star Says Goodbye to Daryl Dixon After 15 Years, but Fans Need 1 Thing Before He’s Done

The cast and fans of The Walking Dead are saying goodbye to Daryl Dixon, at least for now. Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl, has finished filming his scenes, marking the end of production on Season 4 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Reedus shared a heartfelt message expressing his gratitude, saying he’s been incredibly lucky to play the character for so long and thanking everyone for their support.

A new post featured a striking photo of Daryl, shown in profile and looking worn, determined, and thoughtful. The image, reminiscent of artistic film posters, beautifully captured the essence of Norman Reedus and hinted at the emotional weight of Daryl’s concluding story.

The Daryl Dixon series follows the character as he travels through Europe and reunites with his close friend Carol (Melissa McBride). Be warned, spoilers ahead! In season 3, Daryl and Carol successfully overthrew a powerful, controlling government in Spain, led by members of the former royal family. Unfortunately, as they attempted to return home by sea, they were ambushed by Fede, the local leader, who destroyed their boat, leaving them stuck in Europe.

The fourth season of Daryl Dixon will probably focus on a difficult and dangerous return journey, and it’s possible not everyone will survive – even Daryl himself. Norman Reedus has played this character, created for the show, since The Walking Dead began in 2010, making it a natural point for his story to conclude. However, fans might not be ready to say goodbye.

Walking Dead Fans Don’t Believe It’s The End For Daryl Dixon

Fans don’t believe Norman Reedus has truly retired as Daryl Dixon, and they’re reacting as if his recent post isn’t the final goodbye to the character.

Twitter user @onterrorstreet pointed out that the message seemed to be about the show ending, rather than a character leaving. They interpreted it as a farewell to the series and a thank you to everyone involved, adding hope for a Rick and Daryl reunion in the future.

Social media users reacted emotionally to recent news. @Clarebear230490 expressed strong feelings, tweeting they couldn’t accept the situation without one last hug between Rick and Daryl. @Vinod_r108 remained hopeful for a future reunion, saying they deserve a satisfying conclusion for the actors, characters, and fans. @wrestleroller expressed a more cautious hope of seeing the actors reunited as their characters one last time.

As a long-time viewer of The Walking Dead, I’ve learned never to say never. While the main show has concluded, the door is wide open for a reunion of the original cast – Lincoln, Gurira, Morgan, Cohan, and the rest. They’ve all been busy with spinoffs like Fear the Walking Dead, Dead City, and The Ones Who Live, essentially exploring different corners of this zombie world. And honestly, the actors and producers are pros at hinting at things without actually confirming anything. So, despite what we think, I wouldn’t be surprised if Daryl Dixon’s story isn’t over just yet.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon airs on AMC.
