The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 deals with the travels of Daryl and Carol as they make their way back to their loved ones. Again, a greater trek from known terrain makes them more susceptible to fresh dangers and a different landscape.

It will take the journey of these two fan-favorite characters further through the post-apocalyptic ruins of Europe as they attempt to find their way within walker variants, hostile survivors, and unexpected challenges.

Showrunner David Zabel is thrilled with the season and says,

“We’re excited to bring fans into the next chapter of the ‘Caryl’ journey in Spain. With the dynamic local crew, the new locations will add a culturally rich dimension to the series that hasn’t been explored yet”.

The action sequences should follow the level that would realistically be expected. And, of course, the tension that makes it a favorite among fans since day one.
