This year, the franchise saw another spinoff titledThe Walking Dead: The Ones Who Livefocused on Rick and Michonne, played by Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira. While people do love Daryl on screen, stretching his character whom fans have seen for more than 20 years may not be a good idea. Nevertheless, audiences will surely get to see more Daryl in the future.
