AMC just unveiled the first look and official premiere date for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 — and fans, mark your calendars: September 7, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT exclusively on AMC and AMC+
Where Are Daryl and Carol Headed This Time?
Season 3 picks up after the events of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol (Season 2), which saw Daryl and Carol reunite in France. Now, they’re in Spain, filmed in Madrid and regions like Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia, and Valencia, each offering a unique post-apocalyptic vibe. The official logline teases: “Daryl and Carol continue their journey to return home and to the ones they love, but their 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.”
Expect a “road show” feel, with the duo facing new dangers, from fiery zombie hordes to mysterious new enemies. Showrunner David Zabel told The Hollywood Reporter that moving to Spain keeps the show fresh, as Daryl and Carol’s nomadic survival style prevents them from settling down. Fans are already buzzing about how they end up in Spain. Did they sail from France? Trek through Europe? The teaser hints at a stop in an overgrown London, with a brief shot of Stephen Merchant’s character, adding to the mystery.
The Teaser Drop
The freshly released teaser sets the tone: sun-drenched Spain, gastric tension, and an emotional voiceover that hits just right:
“It felt like something’ got lost… then you start living again.” A raw, intimate moment that quickly gives way to intense survival drama.
Expect sun-baked landscapes, rugged action, and the cracks in Daryl and Carol’s armor all wrapped in that trademark, gritty, walker-s-apocalypse style.
