The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is one of the most anticipated series in the zombie-apocalypse genre, with a riveting story about survival and loyalty that features Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier on their journey through a post-apocalyptic Europe. Fans are waiting for Season 4, which will be the last season of the series, and it will include many intense walker threats, more depth to the relationship between Daryl and Carol, and high-stakes actions, as well as a fulfilling ending to their long trek back to the United States after the events of Season 3 in 2025.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 4 Release Details
The newest season of Daryl Dixon (from The Walking Dead) has been renewed for its fourth and final season at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2025. While the final season was finished being filmed on November 20, 2025, it will be filmed at various locations throughout the Spaniard cities of Madrid, Bilbao, Galicia, Andalucía, Segovia, Toledo, and other areas.
AMC hasn’t released an official air date yet. However, it seems that the show will be following a similar annual release during September; for instance:
1st season (September 2023);
2nd season (September 2024), and
3rd season (September 2025).
Since there is a preceding pattern along with the fact that filming has already been finished, there are many assumptions being made (which remain unconfirmed). Most likely, the final season will officially premiere sometime during the fall of 2026; most individuals anticipate and theorize that the September 2026 timeframe would be when to mark your calendar as an estimated debut time. However, AMC has yet to announce whether there are any plans to officially debut before September of 2026.
The full season will now consist of eight episodes instead of the previous season’s six episodes; this change gives Daryl Dixon additional material to work with within the last season. Like the previous seasons, Daryl Dixon will be airing out through AMC, while also providing full episodes via AMC+.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 4 Cast News
The final season will continue to center on the franchise’s long-running leads those include:
- Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon
- Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier
AMC has indicated that the season will feature a strong supporting cast, though no major new cast additions have been officially announced as of early 2026. Previous seasons incorporated international actors tied to the European setting, and a similar approach is expected for the Spain-based storyline.
Norman Reedus has stated that while this series is ending, Daryl’s journey within The Walking Dead universe may continue elsewhere, though no specific projects have been confirmed.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 4 Potential Plot
In the fourth season, picking up where Season 3 left off, most of the story will take place in Spain. As for what AMC and showrunner David Zabed have to say, the final season will focus on Daryl and Carol’s journey back home to America after being separated from their fellow survivors for such a long period.
The story will highlight – Daryl and Carol’s continuing evolution as partners, the ongoing threats from walkers and other hostile groups, healing from all that has happened since they were last together, and finally, getting closer to the end of their story arc, which has been long overdue.
Behind-the-scenes images and early teaser footage showcase locations in underground settings, more action than previously seen, and far greater threats than what had been experienced previously, all of which suggest that Season 4 will wrap up the overall European storyline while still leaving room for more appearances by the franchise in the future.
AMC describes the fourth season of Daryl and Carol as being a “satisfying climax” to what has been done within the spin-off show; yet, it should not be taken as an end to the characters.
