The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live ended a week ago with episode 6 on MagentaTV. After the finale, a second season is questionable, even if a reunion with the two fan favorites Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) would still be possible elsewhere. However, most people will have missed the fact that TWD favorite Norman Reedus (aka Daryl Dixon) has also sneaked into the new series.
The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus cheated his way into The Ones Who Live
After The Walking Dead ended in 2022, several particularly popular characters got their own series in the TWD cosmos. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon shipped Norman Reedus to Europe.

Of course, his character Daryl Dixon does not play Norman Reedus during the unexpected guest appearance. After all, Mr. Dixon should already be in France at this point in TWD. Otherwise, it would be pretty mean for Daryl to sneak into the top-secret community in Philadelphia without saying hello to his missing friend.
Warning, spoilers for the rest of The Walking Dead universe:
Having Norman Reedus on the set of The Ones Who Live is, nonetheless, a nice gesture. And who knows: maybe there is already one here Rick and Daryl reunion at. Luckily for fans, after Rick, Michonne and the Grimes children got back together, all that was missing was the reunion of the two long-time friends.
Daryl currently doesn’t know that Rick has returned. However, Carol (Melissa McBride) indicated with her mysterious radio message in the first season of TWD: Daryl Dixon that this could soon change.
