AMC announced today at San Diego Comic-Con that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has been renewed for a fourth and final season. The pickup is an early one, coming over a month before the spin-off series returns for Season 3. Production on the eight-episode final season is slated to begin this month in Spain.
"Across two extraordinary series spanning almost two decades - Norman and Melissa have given life to two of the most iconic characters in the history of television. Daryl and Carol have taken fans on an unforgettable and intensely human journey of challenge, survival, hope and friendship, and the response from fans, from the very first moments of The Walking Dead, has been remarkable. We can't wait to share the upcoming third season of Daryl this fall and to begin production on this fourth and final season in Spain," said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. "Whatever awaits these two beloved characters, we know The Walking Dead Universe is a timeless franchise that holds endless possibilities for story and characters new and old."
"Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey," said Norman Reedus. "I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It's been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it's been embraced. Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn't just an ending; it's a celebration of what we've all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward - Daryl's journey is far from over."
"It has been the thrill of a lifetime to shoot this part of Daryl and Carol's adventure together in Europe and I keep coming back for more of these two characters," added Melissa McBride. "There is still so much story left to tell and so much for the fans to look forward to. I'm going to revel in the moments as they come and am excited for the fans to see what we have been working on in these incredible locations."
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.

Thank goodness. The first season was good but the second was a mess. Give the characters a proper ending. We don't need them running around forever shadows of themselves like all the walking dead they killed.
So much time has passed in the series that even if everybody alive killed only one walker a month, they'd all be gone (think about it — if only 1% survived they would only need 99 months to kill them all). I admire the makeup work but vast herds of walkers is a very overworked trope.

TWD universe just needs to die. It was absurd five years ago....and it's still going. The show lost all credibility when Glenn survived the dumpster dive. What made the show so good was that no one was safe. That ended a decade ago, but yet it continues.

This is the best spinoff. I like my top. But as it ends they can actually kill off one of them. Which makes it more relevant although I bet not. .

a good conclusion.
the walking dead stuff cant keep going on. it will become an AMC trope.
we all hope that both carol and daryl get that plane/ship/canoe or doa wintery walk across the land bridge, then they can walk down the east coast and find the windmill in the city in VA,
from day one and two, those two made good television.
whatever fate happens... get them both back in america.
i got a weird feeling carol is gonna have a heart attack and daryl is gonna have to keep walking.
i don't want that. obviously they can't couple.
but after this many years, homes in alexandria is the least the apocalypse can do.

It's ok. Honestly, Darryl and Carol could be surrounded by 1000 walkers and escape even though their only weapons were a toothpick and a rusty paring knife. Kind of takes the edge off the show.
With the original walking dead, it seems anyone could die at any point (though usually the stars were fine too no matter how much peril they were in)

Daryl and Carol are probably my two favorite characters. Both originals from Season 1 of The Walking Dead, though Daryl was not in Episode 1. The progression of their characters is amazing. From Daryl being a hot-blooded rogue red-neck, and Carol being a beaten and abused housewife. And now the two produce their own spinoff. Nice to see how western Europe turned out. Just as messed up was everywhere else.

Season 1 should have been the "final season". It has NOT been a good show.

Cool - I'm enjoying this one more than the other spin-offs. I would much rather they have a planned exit two seasons out than an abrupt cancellation so they can give the series a satisfying resolution.

I finally gave up watching any shoow related to TWD. They just need to end all of the shows. The franchise has been on 15 years now and jumped the shark many years ago.

Season 1 was very good. Season 2 was "how do we get rid of all the great new characters so we can bring back Carol?"
