This year has been monumental for enthusiasts of the iconic Walking Dead franchise, as AMC has continued to expand its universe through exciting new narratives. The spinoffs Daryl Dixon and Dead City have brought beloved characters like Daryl, Carol, Maggie, and Negan into fresh settings, with the former venturing across borders to locales in London and Spain.
In thrilling news for fans, actor Andrew Lincoln, known for his role in the original series, has hinted at a potential return, generating anticipation for what lies ahead in 2026 and beyond for the franchise.
Adding to the excitement, the much-anticipated third season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has hit shelves, both in stores and online, with its DVD and Blu-Ray release on December 9 in the US. UK fans had the privilege of grabbing their copies a day earlier, on December 8, even though the season had only recently finished airing in their territory.
For international fans, the release of a complete boxset encompassing seasons 1 through 3 of Daryl Dixon offers a unique chance to revisit the story. In a world where complete series boxsets are increasingly rare, especially for ongoing series, this comes as a delightful surprise for dedicated followers.
The third season, which premiered on AMC and AMC+ in September, marked a turning point for the series as it transitioned from its prior France setting. After a shocking shift that saw many supporting characters killed off, Daryl and Carol embarked on an adventurous trek back to the US through the Chunnel. The season opened in London and followed their maritime journey to Spain, where they encountered obstacles that ultimately shipwrecked them near a village known as Solaz del Mar.
Across its seven episodes, viewers witnessed the duo forge new alliances while contending with corrupt forces, fostering a narrative filled with action and camaraderie as they sought to protect their new friends from malevolent leaders in El Alcazar.
Looking ahead, Daryl Dixon has received a renewal for a fourth and final season, likely set in Spain as well. With eight episodes slated, fans eagerly anticipate how Daryl and Carol’s journey will unfold before they (hopefully) finally arrive back in the US. While details about their futures post-series remain vague, there’s confirmation from AMC’s Chief Content Officer, Scott Gimple, that fans have not seen the last of these characters, hinting at future possibilities beyond the conclusion of this particular narrative.
For those invested in the TWD universe, Dead City is also thriving, having been renewed for another season, indicating there are still many stories left to explore in Manhattan with characters like Maggie, Negan, Hershel, and Perlie Armstrong.
As fans look forward to season four of Daryl Dixon, expected to premiere in 2026, they can also take this opportunity to relive the impressive moments of the third season by adding the new release to their home collections. The passion for storytelling within The Walking Dead universe shows no signs of waning, promising exciting adventures ahead for its dedicated community.
