The decision to kill off Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead is often regarded as one of the show’s biggest mistakes. However, history may have repeated itself in the popular spin-off series.

Fans of the renowned zombie drama have witnessed the deaths of numerous beloved characters over the years. Now, with the second season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, the latest episode has left viewers disheartened by another unsettling loss.

The death of Rick Grimes’ son, Carl, in The Walking Dead sparked significant backlash, with some fans citing it as a reason to stop watching the series. The steep drop in ratings between the eighth and ninth seasons was seen as evidence of this discontent.

While it was expected that the show would learn from its past mistakes, ScreenRant recently suggested that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon might indicate otherwise.

In the report from ScreenRant, Isabelle’s death, portrayed by French actress Clémence Poésy, is described as a major shock. It notes that her connection with Laurent, as well as her developing relationship with Daryl, could have added a captivating dynamic to the third season.

In the third episode of the second season, Isabelle confessed her love for Daryl, solidifying her as one of the most important characters in the franchise. Yet, with her death, Daryl once again missed out on a chance at a happy ending.

The second season, titled The Book of Carol and consisting of six episodes, premiered on September 29. The spin-off, helmed by David Zabel, has already been renewed for a third season, with filming currently underway in Spain, covering locations such as Madrid, Galicia, Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia.
