About The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

His path eventually crosses with Carol (Melissa McBride), and together they set out on a dangerous journey through unfamiliar lands shaped by the Walker apocalypse.
Season 3, premiering September 7, 2025, on AMC and AMC+, follows the duo as they attempt to make their way back home. Season 4, announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, will serve as the series finale — promising an epic conclusion to one of the franchise’s most enduring arcs.
