Is there a premiere date for Daryl Dixon season 3?

So far, the only announcement for the third season's debut is that it will happen in 2025. The previous two seasons of Daryl Dixon premiered in Sept. so the upcoming season will likely follow that pattern.

Is there a trailer for Daryl Dixon season 3?

A teaser trailer was revealed in 2024 showcasing the new season which has a very Western feel. The caption reads: Their journey continues together, but some of the clips feature Daryl and Carol on their own.
