The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season three was all but certain to most fans. Norman Reedus hinted heavily at the show’s renewal a while back and now it is officially a go! For now, Daryl continues to be an agent of chaos and occasionally hope in France. He’s once again being a surrogate dad to someone, this time a young boy named Laurent whom people believe is a savior of sort. Season two will take us back and forth between France and Carol’s quest in America to find her long lost pal. But, we will continue to see new parts of the world in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season three, which will take us to Spain. This season will land in 2025, presumably after Dead City‘s second round.
As revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will begin production in August 2024 in Madrid. Future locations will include the Galicia, Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia regions.
“We are so proud of these shows and incredibly grateful for the way this new chapter in The Walking Dead Universe has been embraced by the fans,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “Sending Daryl, and then Carol, to France was such an inspired and visually striking move for this franchise, a chance to do something truly different. We can’t wait to continue the travels of this iconic duo with a third season produced and set in Spain, another beautiful country with a passionate TWD fanbase that is already buzzing with anticipation.”
Well, well, wellllll. This sounds like Carol and Daryl could actually reunite in France by the season two finale. But we wonder what will draw them to head towards Spain in Daryl Dixon season three? The chaos overseas continues to entice us. We wonder if Daryl will also refuse to learn Spanish as well. Of course, no one is more excited than Norman Reedus, who clearly loves playing Daryl Dixon.
Reedus said: “I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce a third season and to be working side by side with the brilliant Melissa McBride. Season two is some of my favorite storytelling of this series. Watching Melissa shine along with our brilliant cast and crew has been one of my fondest memories playing this character. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it and we can’t wait to keep the story going.”
Melissa McBride adds: “I’m really appreciating the new challenges for Daryl and Carol being so far from all they’ve ever known… what it means for them, what it brings for each of them, apart and together. There’s still so much ahead to unpack in France for the coming season two, and a breathtaking finale. And now Spain! I already know that David Zabel’s storytelling is making the most of all that is so beautiful and unique to Spain. We start shooting there in just a few weeks… such excitement looking forward!”
Until then, we are patiently waiting to see The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season two when it arrives on September 29.
