At nearly two months of the release of the eighth season of The Walking Dead, the actor Norman Reedus takes the opportunity to tell us about the death of his character.

Daryl Dixon has a huge fan-base that will not accept the disappearance of the character incarnated by Norman Reedus and which opened the door to success for him. If fans have already warned the writers of The Walking Dead of their intentions with the hashtag #IfDarylDiesWeRiot, Norman Reedus is already considering the death of his character.

For those who expect a virile end, worthy of a hero such Boromir in The Lord of the Rings, Neo in Matrix or Spock in Khan's Anger, hoping to see Daryl protect Alexandria and her inhabitants from a horde of walkers or Negan's men, hoping to see him fighting with his bare hand against the possessor of Lucille but dying tragically it is not because the actor wants a more poetic end.

Indeed, Norman Reedus said: " I think you’d see a sunset. I would walk up over a hill and then a little wolf puppy would come out of the woods and follow me up. And people would just go, “Whatever happened to that guy?”. An end far removed from that of most characters like Dale, Noah, Glenn or Hershel, Governor and Lori.

Does this interview announce the next death of the character?

Many times, actors talked about the death of their character in interview without clearly announced. However, the characters died well in the following season. I take the example of Natalie Dormer talking about it in an interview between Season 5 and Season 6 and Jack Gleeson's announcement that he was retiring when his character was about to die, an event that came three episodes later in the third season.

But the reputation of the role and the fact that it is unpublished in the comics ensures a certain perenniality to this level. Unless the actor himself wants to move on to something else?
