The Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon-centred spin-off is currently filming, which means we have a first look photo from the set.

In the image, we see Norman Reedus obviously returning as Daryl. He's looking pretty good for a man who has been living in a post-apocalypse zombie world for ages and has "washed-up in Paris" per the official shop synopsis, isn't he?

He's joined by The Essex Serpent actress Clémence Poésy, who is playing a new character to the franchise, and a horse, because why not.

Reedus previously described his experience filming the spin-off show in Europe as "weird as s**t" while chatting with Entertainment Weekly.

"People are speaking French around me, and part of my story is me trying to figure out, 'Is this good or is this bad? Are we about to get into a fight or are we friends right now?'

"I'm trying to read lips with the language that I don't understand and I'm reading body language, I'm reading tone," he continued. "I figure out how to get out of it, and how do I get to the next step. It's all part of the story."

The actor explained that the new location wasn't just to give a fresher vibe to the spin-off, but that there would be a lot of history to explore in the Walking Dead's version of post-breakout France.

Of course, this isn't the only spin-off on the way, with pictures from the Rick and Michonne-focused show dropping last month too (sadly, no horse confirmed for it so far).

The Walking Dead aired on AMC in the US and STAR on Disney+ in the UK.
