American actor Norman Reedus and his character Daryl Dixon are back this week in a new horror series based on the Walking Dead universe. The latter arrives in France after waking up tied to a boat off the coast of Martigues. How and especially why was Darryl sent to France?
When The Walking Dead was filmed in the United States, in the Atlanta region, the production of this spin-off was transferred to France, specifically to the Paris region, but also to emblematic places in our country, such as the Mont. – Saint-Michel.
Who says filming in France also says French casting. Thus, the series features many French-speaking personalities, including Clémence Poesy as the female lead, but also young talents such as Ethan Isidore (Indiana Jones 5) and Kim Higuelin (Le Consentement).
Appearing on C à vous (France 5) to promote the series, Norman Reedus revealed which French personality he wanted to appear on the horror show. “I was a little nervous around him” She confides in this topic, but this star is not a legendary actress like Isabelle Huppert or Catherine Deneuve, but a reality TV star!
A huge fan of the show Drag Race, of which he has seen every episode, Norman Reedus actually wanted to cast the winner of the first season of the French edition. So Paloma was offered the role of Coco, a survivor who works as a drag queen in an underground nightclub.
