Daryl Dixon Season 3 Release Schedule Finally Revealed — Every Episode Date Uncovered

Fans won't have to wait long to dive back into Daryl Dixon's apocalyptic world. AMC has finally locked in the full release schedule for season 3, laying out exactly when each new episode drops.
Daryl Dixon is clocking back in for season 3, and yes, he brought Carol. Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride are back together, this time washing up in Spain after bouncing out of France at the end of season 2. Also worth flagging up front: this is the penultimate season. The show officially wraps with season 4, so consider this the ramp-up.
Where season 3 picks up
Daryl and Carol are literally starting from the wreckage, stranded on the Spanish coast. The setting change is a curveball, but the episode titles make it clear we are fully leaning into the new locale.

Episode count
Seven episodes this year — one more than seasons 1 and 2. Small change, but it matters when the finish line is in sight.
A quick reality check on the endgame
The series is set to end with season 4, so this run is the second-to-last lap. That said, Reedus is making it clear the vibe is more celebration than funeral march.
