The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon Season 3 – Release Date - Story & First Look

The wait for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 is officially underway, and fans have plenty to be excited about. With production now wrapped, the next chapter of Daryl’s post-apocalyptic journey is just around the corner. Here’s a deep dive into what we know so far and what we can expect from the upcoming season.

Daryl’s Next Destination: Spain

Season 2 took us through the eerie beauty of post-apocalyptic France, but it looks like Daryl and Carol are setting their sights on new terrain. Season 3 will see them journeying through Spain, a shift that promises fresh challenges, new allies, and, of course, more threats from both the living and the dead. Filming locations have included regions like Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia, and Valencia—suggesting a mix of coastal and mountainous landscapes that could serve as stunning yet treacherous backdrops.

A Reunion We’ve Waited For

One of the most anticipated aspects of Season 3 is the continued dynamic between Daryl and Carol. Their reunion in The Book of Carol was an emotional high point, and now that they’re on this journey together, the show has the opportunity to explore their relationship in new ways. Will they finally find a way home? Or is home no longer the place they left behind?

The Challenges Ahead

A teaser for Season 3 hints at the emotional and physical struggles our survivors will face. Daryl’s voiceover reveals a moment of hopelessness: “I was ready to give up. I thought it was all over.” Carol, ever the survivor, responds, “You and me both.” It’s clear that whatever they’re facing in Spain, it’s pushing them to their limits.

One big question is how long they’ll stay in Spain. The Walking Dead universe has never been shy about shifting locations when it serves the story, and with the introduction of new characters—including the addition of Stephen Merchant in an undisclosed role—there’s always the potential for another major setting change in the future.

Release Date & Where to Watch

While we don’t have an exact date yet, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 is set to premiere in the fall of 2025. If it follows the pattern of previous seasons, U.S. audiences can expect it to land on AMC first, with a slight delay for international releases on platforms like Sky and NOW.

What Lies Beyond Season 3?

The Daryl Dixon series has proven to be one of the most successful spin-offs in The Walking Dead universe, and the momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down. While there’s no official confirmation of a fourth season just yet, discussions about the future are already happening. Will Daryl and Carol continue their journey in Spain? Could they move on to another part of the world? Or will they finally find their way back to familiar territory?

For now, all we can do is speculate—but one thing’s for sure: Season 3 is shaping up to be another thrilling, emotional ride in The Walking Dead saga.
