As we look forward to the show’s return for season two, we’re excited to be back on set with Norman, Melissa and this great cast, alongside a fantastic local crew in Spain, whose expertise and creative vision are pivotal in bringing these landscapes to life and adding a new culturally rich dimension to the series. We’re excited for fans to witness the reunion of these two beloved characters in season two and to continue crafting the next chapter in the ‘Caryl’ journey here in Spain.
How Will The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Pick Up The Story?
Daryl Will Not Make It Home Just Yet
As The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 is yet to premiere, the details for the show’s third outing are still under wraps. However, it has been hinted that season 3 will follow Daryl Dixon and new character Carol Peletier as they continue their journey to somehow return home to America. The show’s official logline reads: “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.”
Reedus has also hinted the show could return for season 4, which could bring them to other parts of Europe as they attempt to get home.
It can be expected that what happens in the forthcoming The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 will set up the subsequent season. As such, it will be interesting to see what becomes of characters like Isabelle and Laurent and if they make the trip with Daryl to Spain. Manish Dayal has been confirmed to be appearing in season 2 of the show, and it will also be interesting to see what also becomes of her character in season 3.
Following the confirmation of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 during the show's SDCC panel, it was also confirmed that the season would officially arrive in 2025. With a positive reception to season 1, the future of this exciting spinoff looks promising, as Reedus has also hinted the show could return for season 4, which could bring them to other parts of Europe as they attempt to get home.
