AMC releases new teaser and poster for ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol’

September 13, 2024

AMC

AMC released an all-new teaser to the spin-off The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol on Friday, plus a pair of posters teasing the onscreen reunion of Norman Reedus‘ and Melissa McBride‘s respective title characters.

The posters sport complimentary images: one shows Reedus’ character looming large in the frame, with McBride’s image smaller, in his center. McBride’s poster shows the opposite perspective.

Meanwhile, the new teaser shows Reedus’ Daryl fighting in France and his long-lost friend in country searching for him, amid the Franco zombie apocalypse. “I have come a very long way,” she’s heard saying in voice-over.

A tagline for the series teases “Fight to reunite,” because the pair won’t likely share the screen until this season winds up. But fear not, fans: The forthcoming third season of The Book of Daryl will have the pair fighting side-by-side in Spain.

As reported, the third season is underway in Madrid with extensive location shooting planned in the Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia and Valencia regions.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol debuts Sept. 29 on AMC and AMC+.

Reality Roundup: Anna Delvey took “nothing” from ‘DWTS’, ‘The Masked Singer’ premiere and more

Have no fear, your reality roundup is here! Here’s a look at what happened in the world of reality television this week:

Dancing with the Stars (ABC)
After Anna Delvey was voted off of Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday, she gave a curt response when asked what she was going to take away from the experience. “Nothing,” Delvey said in a now infamous viral moment. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Entertainment Weekly she was taken aback by Delvey’s comment. “That was dismissive not only of the opportunity she was given, of her wonderful and supportive partner Ezra [Sosa] in his debut season, but also of all of us who work on the show-from the dancers to behind the scenes to the creative team,” Inaba said.

The Masked Singer (Fox)
The identity of Leaf Sheep has been revealed. Yes, you read that correctly. On the season 12 premiere of The Masked Singer, which aired Wednesday, John Elway was the first celebrity to be unmasked. The two-time Super Bowl champion sang “I Like It, I Love It” by Tim McGraw before his true identity was made known. Panelist Ken Jeong guessed correctly, while the rest of the panel struck out.

The Golden Bachelorette (ABC)
Joan Vassos has started her journey for love as the first-ever Golden Bachelorette. Unfortunately, reports have emerged that one of her potential suitors, Gil Ramirez, had a restraining order filed against him. The woman who filed the temporary restraining order said she is his former partner and listed the need for the filing as emotional harassment. “Despite telling him to not contact me, come to my house — he made repeated unwanted contact with me, family members and friends,” she wrote.

Anthony Anderson, Taye Diggs and more going ‘The Full Monty’ for Fox in December

Fox

Fox has announced exactly when Anthony Anderson, Taye Diggs, James Van Der Beek, Dancing with the Stars‘ Bruno Tonioli, Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs and Teen Wolf‘s Tyler Posey will be going The Full Monty: the evening of Monday, Dec. 9.

As reported in May, the sextet will be bearing it all on The Real Full Monty to raise awareness for prostate, testicular and colorectal cancer testing and research.

The network strips it all down: “During the two-hour special, Anderson will lead Diggs, Jones, Posey, Tonioli and Van Der Beek as they train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance … in front of a live audience.”

The action will be choreographed by Mandy Moore, veteran of Fox’s So You Think you Can Dance, the Oscar-winning La La Land and Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour.

The network continues, “Leading up to the final disrobing, the men will expand their limits, test their modesty and strengthen their bond with a series of rehearsals and experiences, both private and public, designed to build confidence and remove them far from their comfort zone and forge a brotherhood.”

“Along the way, each of the celebrities will share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives,” the producers concluded.

Back when the special was announced in May, Anderson noted, “Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked!”

He added, “I am honored to lead the charge of rallying these fearless men to bare it all, in order to provoke, inspire and in this case, beg you to get screened for cancer. That’s our goal … so what are you waiting for!?”

The Real Full Monty will air Dec. 9 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET on Fox.
