The Walking Dead universe is expanding with the upcoming spinoff, “Ride With Norman Reedus,” which follows the old show’s beloved character, Daryl Dixon. For Norman Reedus, this is the perfect opportunity to not only celebrate the legacy of his old show, but also to stand out and create something entirely new. In a recent interview, Reedus compared the two, noting how much fun he’s having with the spinoff.
Reedus said that now that he isn’t constrained by the parameters of The Walking Dead, he can really get creative and stretch his acting muscles. He noted that Daryl Dixon was a beloved character, but that with the spinoff he can bring something new to the table. It’s “art”, he told viewers, comparing it to painting a brand new picture. With this new creative freedom, he can play a character that he personally really enjoys playing.
Reedus also revealed the behind-the-scenes production of the show. From location scouting to camera placements, he’s working closely with producers to ensure that each episode is artfully crafted. From the stunning visuals to interesting storylines, Reedus said the reward is seeing the final product onscreen.
The star expressed appreciation for the fans who will undoubtedly follow him on his new journey. Fans of Daryl Dixon have grown to love the character, but Reedus promises to bring something unique and exciting to the show. It’s not a Walking Dead show, he reminded viewers, but it’s certainly inspired by the hit drama.
Reedus seems to have found a new level of excitement in the spinoff, comparing it to a work of art., He’s trading the zombie-fighting of The Walking Dead for a new creative expression – something he hopes his fans will appreciate and enjoy.
Ultimately, no matter what direction the show takes, it’s clear that Reedus is enjoying every second of it. Whether he’s trading in his crossbow for a motorcycle or exploring different, unexpected storylines, there’s something invigorating about playing a character that’s new and different. Fans of The Walking Dead, as well as new fans looking to explore the world of Norman Reedus, will no doubt find something to like in this new spinoff.
