[This article features spoilers from the season three finale of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, titled “Solaz Del Mar.”]
After fifteen years of navigating the zombie apocalypse, Daryl Dixon finds himself nearing a significant turning point. Fortunately for Walking Dead enthusiasts, the character Daryl Dixon and the series Daryl Dixon are distinct entities.
The finale of season three for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has premiered, leaving only one more season of this Norman Reedus-led spinoff. This raises questions about whether this signifies the conclusion of Daryl’s storyline entirely. Likely not, as there are many other possible projects where the beloved crossbow-wielder could make appearances, including shows like The Walking Dead: Dead City and potential future developments.
Nonetheless, the nearing conclusion of this interpretation of Daryl weighs heavily on Reedus; while fans reflect on season three’s finale, where Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride) see their latest homecoming attempt go awry, Reedus is currently filming season four on location in Spain. “We’re on episode six of season four,” he shared with The Hollywood Reporter, following a hectic night shoot back from Spain. “We’re getting really close.”
It’s not time to celebrate just yet, as Daryl and Carol haven’t concluded their last adventure in Spain following the assumptions they made at season three’s end. However, it’s time to think about celebrating at least. Reedus discusses the evolution of Daryl Dixon from the recently wrapped season three to the nearing completion of filming season four below.
As you approach the conclusion, what emotions does that evoke? We’re discussing the closing of season three, but it must feel surreal knowing the show is also nearing its end.
Absolutely. There’s a David Bowie quote regarding what someone’s last words would be, and it resonates with me—“But, but, but!” (Laughs) That’s somewhat reflective of how I’m feeling.
