Daryl & Carol Struggle To Find Their Way Home in 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' Season 3
Even without an exact premiere date for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3, fans can know what to expect as an official logline has been released. The season will follow Daryl Dixon (Reedus) and Carol Peletier (McBride) "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."
In a statement, the show’s creator and showrunner David Zabel couldn’t help but express enthusiasm for both upcoming seasons as he said:
"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."
