The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is coming back for a fourth and final season.
The cast and crew behind the latest The Walking Dead spinoff announced the news during their San Diego Comic-Con 2025 Hall H panel today, confirming that Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) have a little more gas in the tank before their journey comes to an end. It’s a reveal that promises an eight-episode season, which will begin production this month.
Reedus, McBride, and the rest of the faces steering The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will shoot in Spain around Madrid in Bilbao, Galicia, Andalucía, the Segovia region, Toledo, and Community of Madrid. The news arrives ahead of the Season 3 premiere, which is scheduled to arrive September 7, 2025, at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+. A new trailer (below) for the next batch of episodes also premiered today as part of AMC’s Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025.
Danger lurks in new places. And this time it’s headed to Spain.

“Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey,” Reedus said in a statement. “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. This finale isn’t just an ending; it’s a celebration of what we’ve all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward – Daryl’s journey is far from over.”
An official summary for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 paints a picture for its characters that will see them continuing their journey toward “home and the ones they love.” The show’s been a success for The Walking Dead’s longtime home at AMC, which says its first season became AMC+’s most-viewed season of any show in the streaming branch’s five-year history.
“It has been the thrill of a lifetime to shoot this part of Daryl and Carol’s adventure together in Europe and I keep coming back for more of these two characters,” McBride said in a statement.” There is still so much story left to tell and so much for the fans to look forward to. I’m going to revel in the moments as they come and am excited for the fans to see what we have been working on in these incredible locations.”
Reedus Rides On
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 4 doesn’t have a release date or story details yet, but AMC has other shows on the way to help keep fans preoccupied. Also announced during the Hall H panel was the news Reedus’ guest-fueled motorcycle reality series, Ride with Norma Reedus, will return for Season 7. Expect its first episode to arrive September 14 at 8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. ET, or just after the second episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 comes to an end.
Ride with Norman Reedus Season 7 will include guests like Robert Patrick (Tulsa King, Peacemaker), Kim Coates (The Walking Dead: Dead City, Sons of Anarchy) and Zahn McClarnon (Dark Winds). McBride, Walking Dead Universe Executive Producer and Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple, and Daryl Dixon Executive Producer Greg Nicotero will also show up to explore biker culture with the fan-favorite Walking Dead star.
Nictero also took advantage of the San Diego Comic-Con 2025 Hall H festivities to pull back the curtain on his new horror competition show, Guts and Glory. Expect to see its two-episode premiere on Shudder and AMC+ in the U.S. and Canada starting September 9.
The Walking Dead fans have feasted on Daryl Dixon stories since the AMC show brought the character to life in 2010. Multiple spinoffs for the show’s original run have spawned during its run and since its conclusion in 2022, including Daryl Dixon, The Ones Who Live, Fear the Walking Dead, World Beyond, and Dead City.
