The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 is almost upon us, but when exactly can you watch the first episode of ‘The Book of Carol’?

Unlike previous Walking Dead entries, there’s no way to watch The Walking Dead spin-off early on AMC Plus. And if you’re in the UK, the situation is just as muddy before; the premiere episode of Daryl Dixon’s second season is arriving later than the US, though it’s not as tardy as previous spin-offs. We’re looking at you, The Ones Who Live.

To help cut through the shambling horde of streaming services, channels, and time zones, we’ve put together a quick guide to The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2, episode 1 release date. That’ll help you reunite with Daryl Dixon far quicker than Carol did, anyway…
