Television series producers today, including The Walking Dead's boss, question the prevalence of extended breaks between seasons and express a desire for viewers to rely on their schedule for when Daryl Dixon appears on-screen.

In the world of television, anticipation is building for the return of some beloved series and the debut of new ones. One of the most eagerly awaited returns is Stranger Things, which will grace our screens on Netflix after a three-and-a-half-year hiatus.

Meanwhile, Scott Gimple, the mastermind behind shows like The Walking Dead and its spin-off, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, is a firm believer in the power of regular connection with audiences. He praises television for its ability to form a consistent bond with viewers, much like YouTube and podcasts have done with their release schedules.

Gimple is particularly proud of the increase in episodes his shows are providing, with The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon being no exception. The third season of this spin-off will premiere in the United States on AMC and AMC+ every Sunday, starting September 7, 2025, at 9 pm Eastern Time. However, the international release date for season 3 is yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to follow shortly after the US premiere.

The third season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will find our protagonists, Daryl and Carol, in rural Spain. The community they encounter, Solaz del Mar, appears to be civilized at first glance, but harbours sinister alliances and upholds twisted traditions.

After the conclusion of season 2, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will take a break, only to return stronger than ever. While Gimple aims for a four-month programming schedule, he is currently satisfied with providing a couple of months of consistent content.

Gimple, being against the trend of long waits between seasons, is ensuring that viewers won't have to wait too long for other popular shows. The Boys season 5 and House of the Dragon's second season will be released two years after their respective previous seasons.

In the ever-evolving landscape of television, Gimple's focus on regular programming is a breath of fresh air for fans. As we eagerly await the return of our favourite shows, let's appreciate the dedication to quality and consistency that Gimple and his team bring to the table.
