Clémence Poésy
(The Essex Serpent) and Adam Nagaitis (
Chernobyl) are set as leads opposite Norman Reedus in
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,
AMC's spinoff from its flagship drama. This marks British actor Nagatis' return to AMC where he previously starred in

Set after the series conclusion of

Nagaitis protrays Quinn, a displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.
