The biggest one, of course, is the setting - there's never been a The Walking Dead series like this. Set in Spain, a first for the zombie-filled show and its numerous spinoffs, we'll see fan-favourite character Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) slay walkers in sunnier climes than he's used to.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Story
In "Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon", we follow old friends Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride) as they try and find a route home. The way back is anything but simple, however.
Now in Spain, they're forced to confront a post-apocalyptic Mediterranean land filled with sun-baked zombies, sieges in historic towns, and all manner of bad guys (one particular nasty one wielding a massive battle axe, as shown in the trailer below).
What Happened in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2?
In the previous season, Dixon washes ashore in France, only he doesn't know why. The series follows his journey as he fights against the undead on a whole new continent.
What Happened in The Walking Dead: The Book of Carol?
"The Walking Dead: The Book of Carol" picks up where "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2" ends.
Daryl stays in France, Carol sets off to find her sister, and Genet (Anne Charrier) is more powerful than ever. This sets up an almighty clash between the Pouvoir movement and the Union of Hope, with the future of France hanging in the balance.
It's unlikely we'll see a resolution to that plot arc in "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon", though.
Why is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Set in Spain?
Executive Producer Steve Squillante has provided more than enough justification for taking "The Walking Dead" to Spain.
"Spain has a really wonderful canvas that I don't believe viewers are quite as familiar with," Squillante tells Variety.
"Even though it's a post-apocalyptic world, you see pieces of culture and history, and people don't realize or the actual impressive cultural and environmental diversity in a country the size of Spain."
The road home is brutal and the fight to survive is far from over. #DarylDixon Season 3 premieres September 7 exclusively on AMC & AMC+. — The Walking Dead (@WalkingDead_AMC) June 23, 2025
"This is not an American show that's just relocated to France and then to Spain to shoot another version of an American show," Squillante continues.
According to him, "95%-plus" of Season 3 was filmed in Spain, including
Barcelona, Seville, Granada, and the ruins of Belchite, a town devastated during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War.
There's apparently also a stunning train sequence Squillante teases will "blow people away."
