What To Expect From Zombie Variants In Daryl Dixon Season 2
New Types Of Walkers Are Emerging
Nicotero’s tease for zombie variants coincides with the dangers present in theDaryl Dixonseason 2 trailer, which emphasized just how different they’ll be this time around.New versions of the undead include ones with pitch-black eyesand others that glow in the dark. However, while these new renditions of Walkers are going to be included in the series, it seems the older variants still have a place in the story about to unfold. The fast zombies in particular highlight just how dangerous the next step of the journey is going to be.
SinceDaryl Dixonseason 1 endedwith confirmation thePouvoirwere responsible for the faster, stronger variants,season 2’s inclusion of them could help offer more revelations to their creation.Given the context clues in season 1, it appears they have something to do with the experiments thePouvoiris running, although it’s unclear what their higher purpose in creating them truly is. Since their quick zombies will be coming back in the new episodes, it would be the perfect time to outline what they’re trying to do, and how it furthers their goal of gaining power across France.
However, sinceDaryl Dixonseason 3has also been confirmed, not all the answers surrounding the creation of fast zombies are likely to be addressed. Since new variants are also being introduced in season 2,they could all be tied together by the antagonistic group, only revealing small hints as to their larger purpose. But, with six new, action-packed episodes on their way, it seems like a matter of time before the dangers of fast variants gets explored even further.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonseason 2 begins airing on Sunday, September 29 on AMC and AMC+.
