AMC's popular Walking Dead franchise continues in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and the hit spinoff has already scored a season 3 renewal. Picking up a few years after the original Walking Dead went off the air, Daryl Dixon follows the eponymous character as he travels to Europe and accidentally finds himself at the center of a power struggle that once again proves that zombies are the least of his troubles. Continuing the franchise's trend of character-driven spinoff, Daryl Dixon works so well because of the power of the character, and Norman Reedus' performance.
Season 1 of Daryl Dixon merely set the stage for what was to come in the sophomore outing, and the spinoff finally brought together the franchise's strongest duo. Subtitled The Book of Carol, Daryl Dixon season 2 brought Carol Peletier across the pond as well, reuniting The Walking Dead's ultimate team once again. With various factions still clashing in France, and Daryl and Carol stuck in the middle of a conflict bigger than themselves, AMC has set the stage for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 to be the most exciting adventure since the conclusion of the flagship show.

AMC Ordered Season 3 Before Season 2's Premiere
Fans didn't have to wait long to learn the fate of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3, and it was announced at 2024's San Diego Comic-Con that AMC had ordered more episodes. Along with the announcement, it was revealed that Carol and Daryl would be heading to Spain in the upcoming season, and that filming would begin before the end of 2024's summer season.

Daryl & Carol Are Together Again
Along with the announcement that season 3 would be sending the show to Spain, it was also confirmed that Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride would be reprising their roles. Naturally, the dynamic duo of Daryl and Carol is an absolute must for season 3 of Daryl Dixon, but the rest of the show's considerably large ensemble is less certain. With the pair leaving France behind, it's possible that they'll be the only two returning cast members for season 3, though nothing is certain yet.
The cast of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 has already grown with the addition of Eduardo Noriega, Óscar Jaenada, and Alexandra Masangkay as series regulars. Nothing is known about the roles they'll be playing, but they are joined by Candela Saitta and Hugo Arbués who will appear as recurring roles as well. If there is a cast reset between seasons 2 and 3, it stands to reason that there will be a slew of new cast announcements in the coming months.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Story Details
Daryl & Carol Leave France
With the two heading westward, it stands to reason that Daryl and Carol will be trying to head back to the United States
Exact plot details remain elusive for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3, and that will likely remain until the ending of season 2. However, there are quite a few details that have been revealed since the third season was officially announced that inform what will happen next. With both Daryl and Carol confirmed for the next season, it's guaranteed that they will survive their ordeal in France with the Pouvoir des Vivants. Furthermore, the duo will head to Spain at some point, and on-set photos tease a trip to London, England as well.
With the two heading westward, it stands to reason that Daryl and Carol will be trying to head back to the United States, though their route will undoubtedly be tangled by conflicts. If Daryl stumbled into a beehive of human drama in France, it stands to reason that he and Carol will find all sorts of trouble in Spain and England too. However, until more details are revealed, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 is a mystery.
