He’s crossed oceans, survived flesh-eating ghouls, and outlived nearly every character he’s ever cared about — and now Daryl Dixon is back for more. The third season of the hit spinoff is on the horizon, and from the looks of the new teaser, things are about to get even bloodier. So strap in. Crossbows out. The apocalypse is moving to Spain.
A European zombie tour (with detours)
In true Walking Dead fashion, logic sometimes takes a back seat to drama — and no one’s really complaining. When last we saw Daryl and Carol, they were trudging through northern France, dealing with moody skies, endless threats, and a seemingly impossible journey back to the U.S.
So why are they suddenly in Spain this season? Who knows. Geography clearly isn’t the show’s biggest concern. Whether they swam, stowed away, or hitched a ride with a group of friendly fishermen, they’ve made it to the Iberian Peninsula, and let’s just say it’s not the peaceful getaway anyone was hoping for.
Spain is burning — and so is the tension
The new teaser offers a brief but chaotic glimpse at what lies ahead. There’s a quaint village celebration that quickly spirals into carnage, a mysterious new antagonist played by Óscar Jaenada (yes, he’s got that look), and a blurry shot of something ominous burning in the distance. Classic apocalypse vibes.
There’s also the unspoken challenge looming over the entire season: how on earth will our beloved duo get back across the Atlantic? A return trip to America seems almost absurd at this point — but in this universe, absurdity is par for the course. Don’t be surprised if a rusty Cold War-era submarine suddenly becomes their best hope by episode six.
Survivors by default — or destiny ?
Let’s be honest. If you’ve stuck with the Walking Dead franchise this long, you already know that Daryl and Carol are indestructible. Between them, they’ve survived a combined nearly 300 episodes — outlasting walkers, warlords, and entire spin-off arcs. They’re less characters now and more mythic figures, woven into the DNA of the series.
But that doesn’t mean their journey is without stakes. The emotional weight of their shared history, their quiet loyalty, and the desperate hope of reunion with whatever’s left of their family — that’s what keeps fans watching. That, and the expertly choreographed zombie mayhem, of course.
Mark your calendars (and sharpen your blades)
The wait won’t be long. Season 3 of Daryl Dixon premieres on AMC in the U.S. on September 7, 2025. While the official French release date hasn’t been confirmed, it’s expected to follow the usual pattern — hitting Paramount+ just 24 hours later, on September 8.
Whether you’re here for the crossbow action, the emotional reunions, or just to see how they justify another cross-continental detour, one thing’s for sure: the undead aren’t getting any slower — and Daryl Dixon still isn’t running out of arrows.
