The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Premieres With London Plot Twist

Season 3 of AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon premiered on September 7, continuing the journey of Daryl and Carol as they navigate unfamiliar and hostile territories while trying to return home. A significant plot development reveals a devastated, zombie-infested London, marking the first glimpse of how the UK has been ravaged by the Wildfire Virus, with showrunner David Zabel explaining that the destruction was driven by a narrative desire to tell the story of the only living human in England. The season opener introduces a new character, Julian Chamberlain, played by Stephen Merchant, whose charm quickly signals his impending death, a typical pattern in the series, which the episode follows with Julian's demise and zombification. Fans can watch the new season through various streaming platforms including Philo, DirecTV, and Sling, with different pricing and trial options available. The series maintains its established rules about character survival and zombie encounters, adding suspense and emotional impact to the unfolding story. The premiere was accompanied by a special red carpet event in Madrid, highlighting the show's international appeal and featuring insights into new characters and upcoming episodes.
