The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 premiered on September 7, 2025, on AMC and AMC+. New episodes are released every Sunday at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, 8:00 PM Central Time, and 6:00 PM Pacific Time. The season consists of seven episodes, making it one episode longer than the previous two seasons. The finale is scheduled for October 19, 2025.
For viewers in the United Kingdom, the release date has not been officially confirmed. However, based on previous seasons, it is expected to air on Sky and NOW shortly after the US premiere, likely within a few days.
What to Expect in Season 3
The third season continues the journey of Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) as they navigate post-apocalyptic Europe. After a shipwreck at the end of season 2, the duo finds themselves in Spain, where they encounter new challenges and communities. The season explores their evolving dynamic, with Carol adopting a more hopeful outlook while Daryl remains focused on returning home.
The storyline introduces new characters, including Federico (Óscar Jaenada), the leader of a fortified settlement called Solaz Del Mar, and Antonio (Eduardo Noriega). Additionally, Stephen Merchant guest stars as Julian, a survivor in England who assists Daryl and Carol before tragedy strikes.
Production and Setting
Season 3 was filmed extensively in Spain, with locations including Madrid, Galicia, Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia. This change in setting provides a fresh backdrop for the series, distinguishing it from the earlier seasons set in France. The production emphasizes atmospheric visuals and action sequences, with one review describing a “massively impressive city siege” that showcases some of the best stunt work in the franchise.
Future of the Series
This season is the penultimate one, as AMC has confirmed that the series will conclude with season 4. Norman Reedus expressed gratitude to fans, stating:
“Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. 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.”
How to Watch
