AMC Renews 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' for Season 3

During the show's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, AMC renewed its original drama series The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon for a third season. The renewal comes ahead of the second season premiere on Sunday, September 29. Production on the third season will commence next month in Madrid, Spain. 





The third season will track Carol and Daryl as they continue their journey towards home and 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.

The drama stars Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Clémence Poésy, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Laika Blanc Francard, Anne Charrier, Romain Levi and Eriq Ebouaney.

David Zabel developed the The Walking Dead spinoff. He executive produces with Reedus, McBride, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, Daniel Percival, Jason Richman and Steve Squillante. AMC Studios, Skybound Entertainment, Valhalla Entertainment, Circle of Confusion and Idiot Box Productions produce.

"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."

"We are all very excited to continue the epic and intimate story of these two friends Daryl and Carol trying to get back home," added Zabel. "Exploring new spectacular European settings, we look forward to dramatizing the ways in which the Walker apocalypse has done to Spain what it did to France."
