The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 release date and time, what’s next, and everything you need to know

After leaving France, Daryl and Carol are shipwrecked on Spain’s rugged coast. They move through fishing villages, ports, and inland routes while outsmarting brutal smugglers and walkers. The pair seek allies, safe passage, and answers about forces hunting them. Their path points toward England, but every mile demands tough choices, scarce supplies, and tight coordination to keep each other alive.

The official synopsis of the series reads:

"After a capsized Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France, he struggles to piece together how he got there and why. His arrival in France raises the ire of leaders within an autocratic movement centered in Paris, and endangers a young boy at the heart of a benevolent religious movement called the Union of Hope."
