It wasnt supposed to take this long for the dynamic duo to join forces on the offshoot project.
But the plans for a Daryl and Carol series actually go even further back than that.
We talked about doing a spinoff together way before anybody came to us, Reedus reveals.

And what was their original concept?
So it was sort of a travel show, kind of figuring out whos left in the world.

Those plans morphed once AMC pitched their own idea.

So it all kind of happened backward.
It was kind of like riding a bike.
We knew where she was, knew what she wanted, what she was trying to do.

So that part was easy.
Though it wont necessarily be the same Carol weve known.
She is determined, says McBride.
Theres a lot of business and a lot of very heartfelt moments.
Theres also a lot of hero stuff with Melissa.
Melissa and I and everybody else wanted to do something new, Reedus says.
And thats what we did.
The actor also has a bold proclamation sure to raise eyebrows among longtime viewers.
I think the finale of season 2 is the best one hour ofWalkingDeadanything ever, he promises.
And Ive been here since day 3, so for real, its my favorite one hour ofWalking Deadanything.
Now that Carol is back, it may be fans favorite as well.
