The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Story
In "Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon", we follow old friends Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride) as they try and find a route home. The way back is anything but simple, however.
Now in Spain, they're forced to confront a post-apocalyptic Mediterranean land filled with sun-baked zombies, sieges in historic towns, and all manner of bad guys (one particular nasty one wielding a massive battle axe, as shown in the trailer below).
What Happened in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2?
In the previous season, Dixon washes ashore in France, only he doesn't know why. The series follows his journey as he fights against the undead on a whole new continent.
What Happened in The Walking Dead: The Book of Carol?
"The Walking Dead: The Book of Carol" picks up where "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2" ends.
Daryl stays in France, Carol sets off to find her sister, and Genet (Anne Charrier) is more powerful than ever. This sets up an almighty clash between the Pouvoir movement and the Union of Hope, with the future of France hanging in the balance.
It's unlikely we'll see a resolution to that plot arc in "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon", though.
Why is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Set in Spain?
Executive Producer Steve Squillante has provided more than enough justification for taking "The Walking Dead" to Spain.
"Spain has a really wonderful canvas that I don't believe viewers are quite as familiar with," Squillante tells Variety.
"Even though it's a post-apocalyptic world, you see pieces of culture and history, and people don't realize or the actual impressive cultural and environmental diversity in a country the size of Spain."

"This is not an American show that's just relocated to France and then to Spain to shoot another version of an American show," Squillante continues.
According to him, "95%-plus" of Season 3 was filmed in Spain, including
Barcelona, Seville, Granada, and the ruins of Belchite, a town devastated during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War.
There's apparently also a stunning train sequence Squillante teases will "blow people away."
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Release Date
"The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3" premieres September 7, 2025, as confirmed by AMC. UK viewers, will need to wait four days later on September 11, 2025.
That's if it follows the schedule from "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2", which in the UK aired four days behind the US on Sky and NOW.

Beyoncé's Net Worth Is About to Be Seriously Impacted
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Beyoncé's net worth is about to change now that her Cowboy Carter Tour is coming to an end, experts tell Newsweek. The global superstar announced her tour in February following the release of her record-breaking country album of the same name. At the time, Cowboy Carter had just won Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards. What Is Beyoncé's Net Worth? Beyoncé's net worth is $780 million as of June 2025, per Forbes. In comparison, her net worth roughly one year prior, in May 2024, was $760 million. According to the outlet, a "majority" of her net worth "comes from her roughly three decades as a solo performer and a member of the girl-group Destiny's Child." Destiny's Child, a band that included Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Beyoncé as the lead singer, rose to fame in the late 1990s with hits like Say My Name and Survivor. Beyoncé, 43, saw mega success as a solo artist too. Dangerously in Love dropped in 2003, and the album's lead single, Crazy in Love, earned her several Grammys. In addition to music, Beyoncé—who is a mom to daughter Blue Ivy Carter and twins Rumi Carter and Sir Carter with her husband, Jay-Z—also starred in films including Dreamgirls, Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Pink Panther, 2019's The Lion King and more. Touring Is Lucrative for High-Profile Musicians The Cowboy Carter Tour kicked off in Los Angeles in April and ends in Las Vegas on July 26. Experts tell Newsweek that touring is one of the best ways for artists to earn money. "There's no doubt the Cowboy Carter Tour will have increased her net worth by an order of magnitude," Dr. Hannah Yelin, Chair of the Creative Industries Research and Innovation Network at Oxford Brookes University, said. "Touring has become the most lucrative income stream for high-profile musicians. But only if you have the resources, stamina, and global fan base! So there's a widening gap between the small constellation of global superstars and everyone else struggling to get by in local, grassroots music scenes." Professor Ruth Penfold-Mounce—a sociology professor at the University of York, whose research includes celebrity culture—agreed. "The number of albums that a singer sells is not the most lucrative part of a high-profile singing career and hasn't been for quite some years. Instead, the heart of a singer's earnings is interwoven with high-profile successful tours, especially if they are on a global scale," she said. "Look at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour." Taylor Swift made history after wrapping up her 21-month Eras Tour in December, grossing $2 billion in ticket sales, double that of any other concert tour, The New York Times reported. Beyoncé fans line up in the rain for entry at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of her performance on June 7, 2025 in London, England. The singer's dedicated fans, known as "The Beyhive" have turned out... Beyoncé fans line up in the rain for entry at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of her performance on June 7, 2025 in London, England. The singer's dedicated fans, known as "The Beyhive" have turned out en masse to her Cowboy Carter Tour, dressing in chaps and cowboy hats in tribute to the singer. MoreCould Beyoncé Become a Billionaire? Beyoncé's three-month tour figures are expected to be at $325 million, according to Forbes, which "will for sure get her closer to being a billionaire," Serona Elton, the Director/Chair of the Music Industry Program at the University of Miami, told Newsweek. "She will come away from the tour with a significant amount of money." Elton noted, however, that the Run the World (Girls) singer "will not herself keep 100 percent of that amount. Not even close." "That money will be divided up, first covering production and ticketing costs, then being shared between Beyoncé, the concert promoter and/or the concert venue." That being said, Elton added that "there are other revenue boosts that happen because of a tour, but are not included in the tour-related reported revenue numbers. For example, there is typically a significant bump up in streaming activity with respect to the recorded music and music videos of an artist by fans in a particular city leading up to a concert date and just after it." "Fans likely also posted images and video of themselves at the shows on social media and added Beyoncé's music to their posts," she continued. "All of these activities would have generated additional revenue for Beyoncé." Penfold-Mounce said that while touring "may tip the balance into the billionaire club," it's "a one-off influx of income." In other words, "the question remains—can she maintain a billionaire status?" Yelin pointed out, though, that the potential milestone could prove to be a hindrance for someone "whose brand has been built on ideas of collective resistance." "In a healthy society, billionaires should not exist. It's a benchmark of excessive individual accumulation totally at odds to collective uplift," the Who Runs the World? Girls, Leadership and Women in the Public Eye author said. "Yes, it's a club that shouldn't just be for white men. Yes, she has defined the zeitgeist for more than two decades now, and those tours must be so grueling. But, extreme wealth is a symptom of extreme inequality, and billionaire status is kind of grotesque." "Celebrity culture has always been about celebrating and justifying a particular model of individualism and success," Yelin concluded. "But as inequality increases, that feels like a stretch."

Dog Spends 2 Weeks Away From Grandparents, Owner Captures Adorable Reunion
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog owner shared his pup's reaction to seeing his grandparents after two weeks apart, and internet users can't cope with the heartwarming footage. In a viral Instagram video shared on Tuesday under the username @hollythebluestaffy, the pup, a blue Staffordshire bull terrier named Holly from Melbourne, Australia, can be seen wagging her tail, as she patiently waits for her grandparents to open the door for her. As they buzz her in, the Staffy springs toward them on the couch, jumping on top of them and kissing them all over, as if she hasn't seen them in ages. "Visiting the grandpawrents after two weeks away," reads layover text in the clip. The caption says: "Two weeks away from the Grandparents is a lifetime apparently. I see a lot of comments on other videos about how your dog is one thing at home & a completely different dog when visiting family … Well if it makes you feel any better, Holly is the most placid dog on earth at home … So I hope this video makes you feel seen. "Ps. My folks are fine & absolutely love this. They wouldn't have it any other way. If I walk Holly into their house with her leashed they get upset at me, so if they are happy, and Holly is happy, I'm happy," the caption adds. Screenshots of the viral video show Holly greeting her grandparents after two weeks away. Screenshots of the viral video show Holly greeting her grandparents after two weeks away. @hollythebluestaffy The poster, who asked to remain anonymous, told Newsweek that Holly has loved her "grandpawrents" from the very beginning, and the feeling is very mutual. "My parents are dog lovers, and our family dog used to be exactly like this with them. I do get some comments about how Holly shouldn't be jumping all over them, but the truth is, my parents wouldn't have it any other way," Holly's owner said. "In fact, if I walk Holly into their house on a leash, they would tell me off. I love that they love Holly and as you can see she feels the exact same way! Holly does this with them because she knows she's allowed to and also because she knows they want her, too." At her grandparents' house, Holly can get away with anything, even with extra snacks that her owner pretends not to know about. Most dogs have a favorite human, and, for Holly, it is clearly both are grandparents. This is not at all unusual among canines; in fact, a dog's favorite does not have to be their owner, and it often isn't. But what makes canines pick one human over another? If you want to know whether you are indeed your pup's favorite human, then pay attention to the way they behave around you. Signs that may indicate you are include: keeping eye contact with a soft, loving gaze; physical contact, including licking, leaning, and sleeping in tour bed; bringing you gifts; and just being generally excited to see you. If canines behave this way with multiple people, then it is probably because they have multiple favorites. Georgia-based veterinarian Jess Kirk says in a Vet Explains Pets article that dogs can have multiple favorites, each for a different reason, and they are able to form a unique and special bond with every one of them. The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 24,000 likes on the platform. One user, Dmyers0102, commented: "Little buddy just couldn't stand it! I need to get in there and see my peeps!" Kristinaheath44 posted: "Awwww she loves them soooo much!!! Such joy!!!" Mizzzmarley added: "From someone whose mom is afraid of staffys, it warms my heart to see this Grammy love on her furgrand."

'The Fantastic Four' Smashes 'Superman' Box Office Record
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors "Superman" may have had an early lead on Marvel's First Family, but now it looks like the FF could still leave the Man of Steel in their dust. DC's "Superman" previously held the record for highest box office sales in Thursday night previews for 2025, with $22.5 million. Now, Marvel is reporting "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" sped past that figure, earning $24.4 million in Thursday previews. Read More: 'Fantastic Four' Star Wants A Spider-Man Team-Up If those numbers are a preview of things to come, then things look very good for "The Fantastic Four." Deadline offered up numbers in comparison, including 2019's "Captain Marvel which earned only $20.7 million in previews, and 2016's "Captain America: Civil War," which did only slightly better with $25 million in previews. Both "Captain Marvel" and "Captain America: Civil War" would go on to earn above and beyond the $1 billion mark.

DISNEY The preview numbers are also much more impressive than either of Marvel's other offerings this year: "Captain America: Brave New World" ($12 million) and "Thunderbolts*" ($11.5 million). If things continue to trend well for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," it will be a welcome and much-needed shot in the arm for Marvel Studios, which has been suffering a rough year. While "Deadpool & Wolverine" did well in 2024, both "Thunderbolts*" and "Brave New World" underperformed at the box office, inspiring more conversations about superhero fatigue or if Marvel had lost its spark. The success "The Fantastic Four" has garnered so far is no doubt helped by the near-unanimous critical praise heaped upon the film since early reactions started coming out. Critic Nick Zednik summed up many of the high points named by other reviewers when he wrote that the film "is pun-intended, fantastic and the best pure MCU film since GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 and that's not hyperbole The story is clear, tight, and the family dynamic is so emotionally effective.
