Norman Reedus became almost inseparable from The Walking Dead. His face, the crossbow, the silence before a scene explodes. Daryl Dixon turned into one of those characters people remember, even when the series moved in different directions. Reedus stayed, season after season, until the end.

That long run, starting back in 2010, shaped how audiences see him. But it is not the full story. Reedus has other credits, smaller parts, side projects, and even travel shows where he is simply himself. When put together, they show a career that is broader than a single role. For anyone curious after watching The Walking Dead, here are five shows where his name shows up again.


The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

This spin-off, launched in 2023, placed Norman Reedus at the very center. Daryl is no longer in Georgia. He wakes up in France and must move through a landscape that looks unfamiliar and dangerous. That change of scenery shifts the rhythm. Sometimes slower, sometimes more tense, but still carrying the same tone fans expect.

Reedus is not just acting this time. He is credited as an executive producer, which means his role behind the camera has weight. The continuation is confirmed. Season three arrives on September 7, 2025, keeping the storyline alive and giving the franchise another chapter to explore.

Ride with Norman Reedus

A completely different format. Ride with Norman Reedus started on June 12, 2016, and has been running since. The show is simple at first glance. Reedus takes a motorcycle, and a guest joins him, and they ride across different parts of the world. But it becomes more than travel. Conversations happen along the way, food stops, cultural notes, moments that look unscripted.

What keeps the program interesting is how it opens a window to Reedus outside of fiction. He laughs, he reacts to places, he shows curiosity. The series is still moving forward, with a new season already dated. Season seven premieres on September 14, 2025, less than a week after the new Daryl Dixon episodes.

Hawaii Five-0

Back in 2010, the pilot of the rebooted Hawaii Five-0 featured Reedus as Anton Hesse. A small role, just in the opening, but it worked as a reminder that he had been taking on varied parts before his Walking Dead years defined him. The police setting gave him a different look, closer to crime drama than survival horror.

Appearances like this can be overlooked. Yet when seen today, they help map the path of an actor who did not arrive suddenly but worked through guest spots and supporting roles.


American Dad! and other animations

Voice acting entered his list of credits, too. In 2016, Norman Reedus voiced Tim in an episode of American Dad!. Around the same period, he joined Turbo FAST as Wild Pete and Voltron: Legendary Defender as Rolo in the first season.

These roles are small but notable. They show how his voice, often associated with a calm and rough delivery, could be used in animation as well. It is another piece of his career, one that does not depend on appearance or action scenes.

Charmed

Years earlier, in 2003, Reedus showed up in season five of Charmed. His character, Nate Parks, was introduced as Paige’s boyfriend. He appeared in two episodes, Sense and Sense Ability and Necromancing the Stone.

The role was romantic and supernatural at once. Looking back, it feels unusual when compared with the roles that would later define him. Still, it stands as part of his early work on television and a small marker of range.

Ongoing presence

All these parts together sketch a wide map. Norman Reedus has main roles that stretch across multiple seasons and one-off appearances that barely last an hour of screen time. He moves between them, building a career that resists being reduced to a single character.

Right now, two projects continue that balance. Daryl Dixon keeps him inside the universe that made him globally known. Ride with Norman Reedus lets him stay visible in another context, closer to his personal interests. Both have new seasons already scheduled, both arriving in September 2025.


Closing

Norman Reedus remains strongly tied to Daryl Dixon, but not limited to him. From Hawaii Five-0 to Charmed, from animation voices to motorcycle trips, each role adds a different tone. Watching these shows in sequence is like piecing together fragments. Some are short, some expand over years, all of them confirm that his career goes beyond one survival story.
