One would think that we would be getting less news from The Walking Dead Universe these days. After all, the flagship series and the first spin-off have come to a close. Rick and Michonne are home at last and with their family, and we are all patiently waiting for new seasons of Dead City and Daryl Dixon. Yet… news continues to flow. Since we’ve been hearing about both of those often because the franchise is still in motion and there’s still so much news to share about them and what to expect from the seasons ahead. In fact, there’s so much going on in the TWDU that even more news arrived earlier today. For earlier, AMC Networks let it be known… that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has started production on season three of the show. 
​
Which is set in Spain, as was announced at Comic Con International about a month ago and well, this is just wonderful news. Because not only are we barreling toward the season two premiere of this magnificent series, but we know the journey won’t end there, and we know the next chapter is being assembled with the same quality and care that has always gone into these shows. Which only adds to the excitement of the season two premiere and informs us that more news lies ahead. And well, to properly pay this news the tribute it deserves, we have all the details on this announcement to share with you, along with a video message to the fans featuring Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, as we continue to immerse ourselves in welcome news about a franchise that means the absolute world to us. 

‘AMC Networks announced today the start of production on the third season of its hit series The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon in Spain starring beloved characters Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride). Season three will be based in Madrid with extensive location shooting planned in the Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia and Valencia regions, each providing a new and unique backdrop for the post-apocalyptic world. Production begins just ahead of the series’ highly anticipated season two premiere on October 4 in Spain, and September 29 in the U.S. on AMC and AMC+.
  
Debuting in 2025, the series is executive produced by Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner David Zabel, Reedus, McBride, Greg Nicotero, Brian Bockrath, Angela Kang, Jason Richman, Dan Percival and Steve Squillante with Silvia Aráez and Jesús de la Vega joining as executive producers this season. Peregrinos SP24 provides Spanish production services for season three.
 
Season three follows Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier as they continue their journey to somehow return  home and to 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.
 
“As we look forward to the show’s return for season two, we’re excited to be back on set with Norman, Melissa and this great cast, alongside a fantastic local crew in Spain, whose expertise and creative vision are pivotal in bringing these landscapes to life and adding a new culturally rich dimension to the series,” said Zabel. “We’re excited for fans to witness the reunion of these two beloved characters in season two and to continue crafting the next chapter in the ‘Caryl’ journey here in Spain.”
 
When Daryl Dixon season one premiered in late 2023, it quickly became the #1 most-viewed premiere of all time on AMC+, the most-viewed season of any show in the history of AMC+ and a top acquisition driver in both the U.S. and Spain.
