What is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 called?
The spin-off’s first season was simply titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, but season two earned the additional title, The Book of Carol. The change reflected the appearance of Daryl’s best friend, Carol Peletier, in the story.
For now, it is unclear whether the series’ title will change again for the third season.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 release date
AMC renewed the series for the third instalment in July 2024. There’s yet no exact date for season 3 to release. However, we know that the new episodes will debut on AMC and AMC+ in 2025.
As Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride announced in a video posted on social media, filming has already kicked off:
According to the clip and AMC announcement, the third season of Daryl’s series will be based in Madrid. Apparently, Daryl and Carol will wander into Spain while trying to find a way to get back to the States.
As AMC statement reads:
Season three follows Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier as they continue their journey to somehow return home and to the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 cast
The season will see the return of Norman Reedus as the fearless warrior and zombie slayer Daryl Dixon. It is also confirmed that he will once again team up with Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier – in season 1, viewers saw the actress’ cameo announcing her comeback, and she appeared as a key character in season 2.
In season 3, Daryl and Carol will meet new allies and foes. One of them will be the character played by Stephen Merchant, who you may know from his role as Caliban in Logan (2017) or Greg in The Outlaws series (2021-2024).
The new additions to the cast also include:
- Eduardo Noriega (The Devil’s Backbone)
- Alexandra Masangkay (The Platform)
- Candela Saitta (Último Primer Día)
- Hugo Arbués (A través de mi ventana)
- Óscar Jaenada (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides)
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 plot
AMC hasn’t yet released an official plot description for the new season. However, we do know that in the upcoming season, Daryl and Carol will enter Spain, while attempting to head back to the US.
During their journey, the heroes will also apparently visit England (probably post-apocalyptic London), among other places. Knowing the universe of The Walking Dead, they will likely encounter a variety of post-apocalyptic communities on their way – ordinary people as well as psychopaths, local warlords, cultists and other dark characters.
