THE WALKING DEAD: DARYL DIXON Season 3 Promo Spot Announces September Premiere Date

AMC has officially set the return date for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and if you’ve been following the post-apocalyptic adventures of Daryl and Carol, Season 3 is set to premiere Sunday, September 7th.

This season brings back Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride front and center, continuing the story of two longtime survivors now navigating a very different kind of wasteland.

While Season 2 reintroduced Carol to the fold, Season 3 doubles down on their dynamic as they attempt to make their way back home, though, of course, the road is anything but clear.

The new season is packed with familiar faces and fresh threats. Returning cast includes Candela Saitta, Gonzalo Bouza, Hada Nieto, Yassmine Othman, Cuco Usín, Stephen Merchant, Hugo Arbués, and Greta Fernández. Joining the crew as series regulars are Eduardo Noriega, Óscar Jaenada, and Alexandra Masangkay.

Daryl actor and executive producer Norman Reedus previously teased how special this chapter has been for him, saying:

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce a third season and to be working side by side with the brilliant Melissa McBride. Season 2 is some of my favorite storytelling of this series. Watching Melissa shine along with our brilliant cast and crew has been one of my fondest memories playing this character.”

That storytelling has come with some added international flair, thanks to the series’ location shift. Showrunner David Zabel explained it well in an earlier interview:

“It’s one of the things that distinguishes us from the other ‘Walking Dead’ shows — that we get to show how different parts of the world have responded to the walker apocalypse and the different impact it has had in different places and come up with some cool, new things that you don’t see in the American versions.”
