Norman Reedus retells the "epic story" of zombie apocalypse survivor Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead: Origins - Daryl's Story, the first in a series of specials now streaming exclusively on AMC+. Origins charts the stories of key characters from The Walking Dead with new interviews and narrations from the actors who play them: Daryl (Reedus), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), and Carol (Melissa McBride). Each new episode, premiering Thursdays on AMC+, features an exclusive sneak peek at Season 11 of The Walking Dead and is accompanied by The Best of The Walking Dead, a new collection featuring fan-favorite episodes for each character.
In "Daryl's Story," Reedus recounts how Daryl went from "a loner to protector and guardian of his chosen family" across ten seasons of The Walking Dead. Reedus narrates the 60-minute special consisting of clips from past episodes of The Walking Dead, which ends with an exclusive scene from the two-part Season 11 premiere airing August 15 on AMC+ and August 22 on AMC.
