AMC announced today at Comic-Con International that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has been renewed for a third season in 2025. The pickup is an early one, coming two months before the spinoff series returns for its sophomore run. Production of Season 3 is slated to begin next month and be based in Madrid, Spain.

"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."

"I couldn't be more thrilled to announce a third season and to be working side by side with the brilliant Melissa McBride," said star Norman Reedus. "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."

The series follows Daryl after he washes up on the shores of France with no memory of how he got there, leading him to journey across the broken but resilient country hoping to find a way back home. During his travels, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his plan.
