Following her recent surprise return, Carol actor Melissa McBride has just set an impressive new record for The Walking Dead franchise.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Walking Dead star Melissa McBride, who plays Carol, has just set a new franchise record. First introduced in season 1 of The Walking Dead back in 2010, Carol has emerged as a major figure in the larger franchise, undergoing a transformation from abused wife to zombie-slaying survivor. In addition to becoming a staple in the mothership show, Carol also appeared in spinoff Fear the Walking Dead.
Now, following Carol's surprise return in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon's season 1 finale, McBride has just set an impressive franchise record. While multiple actors have now featured in the main show and a spinoff, McBride is the first franchise star to appear in three different iterations of the show.
What's Next For Carol In The Walking Dead Universe? Originally, what is now known as The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was intended to be two-hander between Norman Reedus' gruff, crossbow-wielding survivor and Carol. Much like how Maggie and Negan carry the story of The Walking Dead: Dead City, the proposed premise for the Daryl spinoff was a story following both Reedus' character and McBride's in France.
With Carol's return in Daryl Dixon, however, McBride's character is set to play a much larger role moving forward. This is essentially confirmed with the new subtitle for the announced season 2, with the next batch of episodes called The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol. The season 1 finale of the new spinoff ends with a scene set in Freeport, Maine, with Carol seemingly on the hunt for Daryl. After finding his motorcycle and uncovering a lead, season 2 is poised to see the two characters reunite. While it definitely feels like a reunion is on the cards, it's not yet clear whether this will take place in North America or Europe.
