Production of Season 3 is based in Madrid with shooting planned in the Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia and Valencia regions.

Here’s a plot summary: “Season three follows Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier as they continue their journey to somehow return home and to the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.”

Here’s what creator David Zabel said: “It’s in Spain, but there is an interesting stop in between France and Spain that’s pretty cool and exciting…then, in Spain, we have a totally different vibe from France, which is really cool. We get into a little bit of a Western vibe, a little bit of a spaghetti Western vibe, and the colors are different. It’s sandy, it’s dusty, and it’s windy, and we’re in this town that’s very complicated. We have an amazing cast of Spanish actors. Really great cast.”

The series will debut in 2025, according to AMC.
