Norman Reedus‘s character in the hit AMC series The Walking Dead is about to get his own spin-off film, according to reports.

In The Walking Dead, Reedus plays Daryl Dixon, the expert tracker whose weapon of choice is a crossbow.

Initially part of an ensemble cast, Daryl has become the central player in the series, as other stars have seen their characters meet violent ends.

According to a report in We Got This Covered, AMC is currently in talks to develop a standalone Daryl Dixon film.

“As far as the chronology of the Walking Dead-verse is concerned, Daryl’s standalone film will presumably take place after either season 11 or 12,” says the post.

The film will supposedly “see him searching for former series protagonist Rick Grimes while throwing in some flashbacks with his volatile brother Merle, who died in season 3 episode 15, ‘This Sorrowful Life.’”

The report will come as spiriting news for fans of the series who have been left disappointed after The Walking Dead season 10 finale was postponed until later this year due to the coronavirus.
