The Walking Dead: Norman Reedus – Mindblowing Twist for Final Season

Norman Reedus has spilled the tea on an upcoming, huge twist in the expanded new season of The Walking Dead.

The final, supersized chapter of The Walking Dead arrives this August. Reedus prepared fans for the “mindblowing” direction the show is about to take.  We’re going to get something we’ve never seen in the show’s eleventh season.

“It’s kind of mind-blowing where we’re going,” Reedus shared in an interview with ComicBook.

“We did the first ten episodes kind of in one direction, and that involved Maggie’s story mostly, and us trying to deal with what’s going on with that as a group. And then all of a sudden, we did a one-eighty, and now it’s kind of like Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory all of a sudden,” he continued.

Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon on the AMC show, added that his new 24-episode season will be “completely different”.

“We’re all doing The Exorcist right now, all of our heads are spinning in a circle. Yeah, we’re all Linda Blair right now,” the actor said.

“I mean, things go from a black and white western to a technicolor Willy Wonka film like that, and it’s crazy,” he added.

Reedus also revealed the fate of his character in this final season.

“[Daryl is] protecting the kids a lot, to be honest, and…he’s protecting Maggie a lot,” he said.

“Maggie’s going through a big thing at the beginning of this season, he kind of takes it upon himself to keep an eye on her and be part of that journey,” he added.

The actor also teased that Daryl’s journey “turns into a larger fight, which turns into something completely different. But I think he’s taking care of people and he’s protecting people, but he’s also with everybody else kind of protecting [their home].”

The Walking Dead will air season 11 beginning August 22, 2021 on AMC
