She knew she would be back for season two for a long time.

The second season of the AMC series picks up where the first season left off as both Daryl and Carol “face old demons as she struggles to find her girlfriend and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension in the nest.”

Why Spain? “Sangria,” Reedus joked.
“It’s part of Daryl and Carol’s evolution of trying to get home. They find their way there for a bunch of surprising and wonderful reasons but Spain is just across the border from France,” said series executive producer David Zabel. “It’s one of the things that sets us apart from other Walking Dead shows — that we get to show how different parts of the world responded to the Walking Dead apocalypse and the different impact it had in different places and come up with some cool, new things that you don’t see in the American versions.”
“We’ve gotten better,” executive producer and director Greg Nicotera added, before noting that the travel “keeps it fresh.”
“He said one of the reasons we went to Europe in the beginning was to do a whole new journey and take the characters we know and put them in a foreign land, and any opportunity where we can continue to explore the world is a great opportunity for these characters.”
Season 2 of “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — The Book of Carol” is set to premiere on AMC and AMC+ on September 29.
