During The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon's Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the series has been renewed for a fourth and final season. In attendance to share the exciting news was Executive Producers/Stars Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, along with EP/Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe Scott M. Gimple, EP/Showrunner David Zabel, and EP Greg Nicotero.

The eight-episode new season is set to begin production this month in Spain. "Across two extraordinary series spanning almost two decades - Norman and Melissa have given life to two of the most iconic characters in the history of television. Daryl and Carol have taken fans on an unforgettable and intensely human journey of challenge, survival, hope and friendship, and the response from fans, from the very first moments of The Walking Dead, has been remarkable. We can’t wait to share the upcoming third season of Daryl this fall and to begin production on this fourth and final season in Spain," McDermott expressed. "Whatever awaits these two beloved characters, we know The Walking Dead Universe is a timeless franchise that holds endless possibilities for story and characters new and old."

Reedus added, "Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It’s been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it’s been embraced. Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn’t just an ending; it’s a celebration of what we've all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward – Daryl’s journey is far from over."

McBride commented, "It has been the thrill of a lifetime to shoot this part of Daryl and Carol’s adventure together in Europe and I keep coming back for more of these two characters. There is still so much story left to tell and so much for the fans to look forward to. I’m going to revel in the moments as they come and am excited for the fans to see what we have been working on in these incredible locations."

Season 3 will premiere Sunday, September 7, at 9 PM ET on AMC and AMC+.
