NEW YORK — AMC says Norman Reedus of the network’s hit thriller “The Walking Dead” is going for a ride.

Reedus, who plays zombie-plagued Daryl Dixon, is hitting the road in a new AMC reality show as he takes viewers on a biker journey exploring motorcycle culture.

The series’ six one-hour episodes will each pair Reedus with another biker enthusiast — a fellow actor, musician, friend or local chopper fanatic — as they set off from a different city. Along the way, the network said, they will stop at custom bike shops, tattoo parlors, collector’s warehouses or an inviting roadside smokehouse.

The series, with the working title “Ride With Norman Reedus,” debuts in 2016.
