The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 is arriving this weekend, as the show swaps the previous season's French setting for Spain. Norman Reedus returns to lead the show as fan-favorite Daryl alongside Melissa McBride's Carol, as they continue their European adventures.

Although last year's season 2, subtitled The Book of Carol to mark McBride's return to the horror franchise, wasn't as popular as the debut season, season 3 might win fans and critics over again. The first reactions have been very positive, with some reviews promising "one of the best seasons of The Walking Dead franchise ever."
