The post-apocalyptic AMC drama series “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” will film its third season across multiple regions in Spain. Production is currently underway for the new season, scheduled to premiere in 2025. This marks a shift from the previous French setting as the show explores different areas coping with the global walker outbreak.
Series lead characters Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier ended season two pursuing their goal to return home. In a post-finale teaser, Norman Reedus expressed Dixon’s exhaustion but determination, saying “I was ready to give up. Thought it was all over.” Melissa McBride’s Carol responded that she felt the same.
Showrunner David Zabel said the characters “should not settle down” and must “keep moving” on their journey. Filming will take place in Spain’s Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia, and Valencia regions to continuing telling their story. Zabel hinted future seasons may explore more global locations depending on the characters’ paths.
The production team added Eduardo Noriega, Óscar Jaenada, and Alexandra Masangkay as series regulars for season three. Additional Spanish actors joining include Candela Saitta, Hugo Arbués, and Greta Fernández.
While only renewed through season three, Zabel believes larger plans are in place. He discussed potential future storylines with Norman Reedus but acknowledged uncertainty. Coordination may also be needed with other Walking Dead franchise timelines as characters’ stories converge.
The expanded production crew includes executive producers Scott M. Gimple, David Zabel, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, and Spanish producers Silvia Aráez and Jesús de la Vega from Ánima Stillking. They will continue chronicling Dixon and Peletier’s fight to return home across the varied regions of Spain.
