As The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol wraps up its second season on Paramount+, fans are already being treated to a glimpse of what lies ahead in the series’ next chapter, slated for 2025. Daryl and Carol, two of the most beloved characters in the Walking Dead universe, continue their journey in the spin-off show, and it seems the adventure is only just beginning.
From France to England and Onward to Spain
At the end of Season 2, titled The Book of Carol, viewers saw Daryl Dixon (played by Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) preparing to leave France behind as their quest takes them to England. But, as teased in the first look at Season 3, the duo’s path to the United States will detour through Spain, introducing a new and unexpected setting for the series.
The teaser opens with a brief but telling shot of a London bus, quickly followed by scenes of Daryl and Carol navigating the eerie, deserted landscapes of Spain. The new scenery not only sets a fresh stage for their journey but also brings with it a new breed of challenges—none more ominous than the fresh wave of zombies they encounter along the way. As Daryl and Carol forge ahead, their dialogue offers a glimpse into the emotional toll their journey has taken on them.
“I was ready to give up,” Daryl admits. “I thought it was all over.” Carol’s simple response—“Me too”—sums up the heavy emotional weight that fans have come to expect from these two characters.
Filming Underway in Spain
Season 3 is already in production, with filming taking place across Spain in regions like Galicia, Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia. These locations will not only bring a new visual identity to the show but also set the stage for the characters to experience different, and likely more unpredictable, conditions in this post-apocalyptic world. The Walking Dead universe has always excelled at reimagining familiar settings, and with such diverse backdrops, it’s safe to say this season will continue that tradition.
The official synopsis for the upcoming season reveals that the central narrative will follow Daryl and Carol as they continue their quest to return home. But their journey won’t be straightforward. They’ll encounter unfamiliar lands, unfamiliar dangers, and witness the varied effects of the apocalypse on different parts of the world. With the unpredictable nature of the Walking Dead universe, fans can expect plenty of twists and turns as the story unfolds.
A Change in Scenery, A Change in Atmosphere
As the characters transition from France to England and now Spain, the show’s setting will shift the tone and atmosphere in new ways. Fans have seen the effects of the apocalypse on American landscapes, so the introduction of European backdrops is a welcome change. The new scenery is bound to bring with it new threats, different social dynamics, and perhaps even a cultural perspective on how the world has fallen apart.
In a series that thrives on reinvention, the new locations offer endless possibilities for character development, plot twists, and emotional depth. The fresh challenges that Daryl and Carol will face are sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting each new episode.
What’s Next for Daryl and Carol?
As we approach 2025 and the release of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3, it’s clear that this spin-off will continue to push the boundaries of storytelling in the Walking Dead universe. While Daryl and Carol’s personal journey is at the heart of the show, the series has also been praised for its ability to explore new aspects of the apocalypse, introducing new characters and locations that keep the narrative fresh.
With filming already underway and a compelling teaser that promises a tense, action-packed journey ahead, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is poised to keep its loyal fanbase hooked. So, mark your calendars for 2025, and prepare to follow Daryl and Carol on an adventure that’s as unpredictable as the world they inhabit. Keep your eyes on Paramount+ (also available via Canal+), because the next chapter in this saga is just around the corner.
