The Walking Deadseries finale ended withDaryl Dixon riding off on his motorcycleinto the distance.
We don’t know where he’s heading, but we certainly know where he ends up.
How did he get here?

How’s he going to get home?"
“It’s going to bewaydifferent,” he said then.
“The story’s way different.

The characters are way different.
There’s a different tone, there’s different light, there’s a different sound.
It’s a whole different vibe.”

But that was then.
WithDaryl Dixonnow officially in production, what we want to know is: What about now?
“We’re three weeks done,” Reedus tells EW.
“We’ve got three weeks in the can.”
And how’s it going?
“It’s f—ing great!
Everybody that’s involved in it is really, really excited about what we’re doing.
It’s so epic in scale, and the tone is so good and different, and moody.”
There’s history in the walls around us.
There’s history in the sound of it all.
It’s a very different feel.
“It’s a reset,” says Reedus."
We don’t really have that over there.
Are we about to get into a fight or are we friends right now?'
I’m reading all sorts of things, and it’s confusing and I’m figuring it out.
I figure out how to get out of it, and how do I get to the next step.
It’s all part of the story.
So is it weird?
Yeah, it’s weird, but that’s the show we’re making.
So it’s working really well."
“Greg’s a storyteller.
He knows how to find the in between moments that really make or break the tone of something.
And he’s good at bobbing and weaving, finding those things.
Reedus sounds reenergized when talking about the new series and bringing his character into a completely new environment.
“I couldn’t be happier, really.
We just started, but it’s what I wanted to do.
It’s exciting, and everybody is kind of freaking out because it’s so good.
It’s something I’m really proud of.
We just got to keep it up.”
