If you want to know what’s in store for the future of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, we’ve rounded up what we know.

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 name, The Book of Carol. The change reflected the appearance of Daryl’s best friend, Carol Peletier, in the story.

It seems that in the third season, the series has returned to its original title.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 release date

The third instalment of Daryl Dixon series will premiere on AMC and AMC+ on Sunday, 7 September 2025. Season 3 will consist of 6 episodes that will air weekly.

AMC renewed the series for the third instalment in July 2024.

The beginning of work on set Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride announced in a video posted on social media:

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).

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

In the upcoming season, Daryl and Carol will enter Spain, while attempting to head back to the US.

As the series’ showrunner, David Zabel, told The Hollywood Reporter:

It’s one of the things that distinguishes us from the other ‘Walking Dead’ shows – that we get to show how different parts of the world have responded to the walker apocalypse and the different impact it has had in different places and come up with some cool, new things that you don’t see in the American versions.

Zabel also added:

We loved the reinvigoration we experienced going to France, and we wanted to continue doing that. On a story level, the characters should not settle down. It should be a road show. They have to keep moving [to return home]. At the end of season two, they’re going somewhere. We don’t know exactly where, and it’s not a direct line to the next place they go. But the idea is to keep the characters struggling and striving to get home and moving.

Knowing the universe of The Walking Dead, during their journey, Daryl and Carol 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.
