'Across two extraordinary series spanning almost two decades, Norman and Melissa have given life to two of the most iconic characters in the history of television. Daryl and Carol have taken fans on an unforgettable and intensely human journey of challenge, survival, hope and friendship, and the response from fans, from the very first moments of The Walking Dead, has been remarkable,' said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. 'We can't wait to share the upcoming third season of Daryl this fall and to begin production on this fourth and final season in Spain.'
Reedus and McBride were in San Diego for the Comic-Con session alongside showrunner David Zabel and executive producers Scott M. Gimple (chief creative officer for the TWD franchise) and Greg Nicotero.
Season three of Daryl Dixon, meanwhile, is set to premiere Sept. 7 and will follow Reedus' title character and McBride's Carol to Spain. Eduardo Noriega, Óscar Jaenada and Alexandra Masangkay also star.
'Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride,' Reedus said in a statement. 'It's been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it's been embraced. Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn't just an ending; it's a celebration of what we've all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward — Daryl's journey is far from over.'
Added McBride, 'It has been the thrill of a lifetime to shoot this part of Daryl and Carol's adventure together in Europe, and I keep coming back for more of these two characters. There is still so much story left to tell and so much for the fans to look forward to. I'm going to revel in the moments as they come and am excited for the fans to see what we have been working on in these incredible locations.'
Zabel, Gimple, Nicotero, Reedus and McBride are executive producers of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, along with Brian Bockrath, Angela Kang, Jason Richman, Dan Percival and Steve Squillante.

National Eisteddod 2025: The latest news on Saturday
The National Eisteddfod is underway as thousands flock to the annual festival, which this year is being held in Wrexham. In recent weeks Eisteddfod staff and contractors have transformed farmland at Is-y-Coed on the eastern outskirts of Wrexham, into a small town with a 1,500 seat pavilion, a range of performance spaces and stalls as well as a temporary Gorsedd circle. Here is a round-up of the news from the National Eisteddfod today (Saturday August 2), to enjoy: READ MORE: History of Shell Island tidal campsite and why (most) campers love it so much READ MORE: Diggers to pause work on North Wales beach for summer holidays Well-known Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney has welcomed people to the National Eisteddfod 2005 in Wrexham - in Welsh! Maxine Hughes, leader of Wales and the World this year, taught the American to record the welcome for a short video which has been published on social media websites. With Maxine's support, Rob, who has declared his full support for the Welsh language with his friend Ryan Reynolds, since the start of their ownership of Wrexham football club at the beginning of the decade, pronounces the welcome clearly. Maxine praised him for his efforts and especially so when he shortens the word Eisteddfod to 'Steddfod. "That's how we say Eisteddfod in North Wales where I come from," he told him. Maxine, who is from the Conwy area but now lives in Washington, the capital of the United States, will address the audience as the leader of Wales and the World during the Cymanfa Ganu (Singing Assembly) on Sunday night. She will also take part in leading other sessions on the Maes during the week. A well-known actor also paid a heartfelt tribute for the help and support he received from the residents of Rhosllannerchrugog when starting his career on stage and television. Mark Lewis Jones' face is well known even if the name is not as familiar. His credits read like a list of recent iconic TV shows - The Crown, Game of Thrones, Keeping Faith, Man Up and Baby Reindeer. His film career is equally impressive ranging from his memorable role as First Order Captain Moden Canady in Star Wars: The Last Jedi to his role in the recent film, Sweetland. This week he is President of the National Eisteddfod which is being held in Wrexham, only a few miles from his home village. He noted his sincere thanks to the grandfather for insisting that the Eisteddfod be "by everyone and for everyone". In his speech he said: "My grandfather, Jonathan Dafis, sang in the pavilion many times as a loyal member of the Rhos Male Voice Choir, as well as helping to organise the festival when he came to the area in 1945, but somehow when I was growing up I didn't feel that the Eisteddfod was relevant to me. "I was, and continue to be, a proud Welshman, brought up in a community that was Welsh even though we were so close to the border, but even so I didn't think the Eisteddfod was for a Welshman like me. And it took me a while to understand that I was wrong." He added his wife, Gwenno, runs a clothes shop in Cardiff, and would regularly hire a stall on the Maes. "One of my favorite memories of coming to the Eisteddfod (with Gwenno), was meeting and chatting with people who had travelled from afar to be part of the festival. "It became clear to me how essential the Eisteddfod is, supporting and promoting the arts in our country. I now have four sons, each one appreciating the importance of the festival, and Jacob, the youngest, is working on the Maes this week. "I have come to understand what Taid understood from the beginning - that the Eisteddfod is for everyone, for everyone. And if he was still with us I know he would be here, in the front row, with a proud smile on his face when he finally saw his grandson on stage." Mark Lewis Jones also outlined how he chose to become an actor. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox "I have been fortunate to be able to stand on several famous stages over the years - the Globe and the National in London, the Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford - but I have never been on the stage of the National Eisteddfod before," he said. He went to Ysgol Morgan Llwyd in Wrexham and he had no idea what to do with his life. "But at school there was a teacher called Gwawr Mason. And one day, for some reason, she asked me to be in the next school show? And for some reason I said - yes, ok," he said. He came from a home without any connection with the arts, and a home where English was the main language. "After taking part in that school show, my life changed completely. I wanted to act. My parents were unsure of course, but supportive nonetheless. After all, I had nothing to lose - I have two brothers who are carpenters, but I think my mother and father realised after seeing me handle a saw that there was no future for me in that field. "So I went on to work with Clwyd Youth Theatre. I went to the College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, then to Theatr Clwyd and London. "But I can definitely tell you that that would never have happened if Gwawr Mason had not offered a helping hand to a young, lost boy. Very sadly we lost Gwawr during lockdown and although I have thanked her many times for her support I don't feel I will ever, ever, ever be able to thank her enough," he said. And the sound of brass bands also filled the air as competition got underway. A steady stream of musicians carrying their tubas, cornets and trombones from the car parks towards the main pavilion were seen before 9am to register with officials. Five bands from Buckley, Menai Bridge, Deiniolen near Caernarfon and Markham near Caerphilly as well as Wrexham entered the Section 2 and 3 competition. Open to bands with up to 25 members they were set the task of presenting a varied programme that took no longer than 15 minutes to perform. After a spirited competition the adjudicator, Alan Bourne, awarded the first prize of £600 and the Ivor Jarvis Cup to the Royal Buckley Town Band. The Deiniolen Silver Band were second and Markham third. Veteran bandsman Meirion Jones from the Deiniolen band said Buckley deserved their win. "They have come so close on other occasions, sometimes there was just a point in it," he said. Later four more bands competed in the Section 4 competition. They too were set the task of performing at least three items within their alloted 15 minutes. The adjudicator placed the Llanrug Silver Band in first place and they took home the Ivor Jarvis Challenge Cup and the £600 cash prize. The Oakeley Silver Band from Blaenau Ffestiniog were second and Band Porthaethwy, Menai Bridge third. On Sunday three brass bands from Wrexham, Beaumaris and Merthyr Tydfil will battle it out for the Section 1 crown and the Flintshire Cup.

Is Bob Dylan's ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues' Video the Most Copied of All Time?
Rolling Stone named Beyoncé's 'Formation' the greatest music video of all time in 2021. But when it comes to the most influential, first place can arguably go to a clip that isn't even a proper music video — and was shot in black & white 60 years ago. Last week, Margo Price released a jaunty new single, 'Don't Wake Me Up,' accompanied by a video in which she holds up white cards with snippets of lyrics — among them, 'cow pasture cemetery,' 'honky tonk leaky tent,' 'dive bar,' 'madness' — as the song plays. It didn't take a classic-rock historian to see the video as a nod to Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues,' the canonical footage of the young Bob of 1965 in a London alleyway holding, and discarding, cards with bits of the tune's lyrics; in the background is poet Allen Ginsberg talking to off-screen Dylan pal Bobby Neuwirth. More from Rolling Stone Complete Unseen: New Doc on History of Newport Folk Festival Announced Margo Price Pays Homage to Bob Dylan in 'Don't Wake Me Up' Video Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival Tour Hits Pause After Extreme Weather Damages Gear Not an actual music video, the scene was the opener of documentarian D.A. Pennebaker's penetrating 1967 film Dont Look Back, shot during Dylan's U.K. tour of two years before. As Pennebaker later said, the concept came from Dylan himself: 'He said, 'I've got this idea for a film where I take a whole lot of sheets of paper and write lyrics for a song, and hold them up as the lyrics come up in the song and then I just toss them away.' And I said, 'That's a fantastic idea.' So we brought along about 50 shirt cardboards.' The footage was shot in the alley behind the Savoy Hotel in London, and according to Pennebaker (who died in 2019), some of the handwritten lyrics were supplied by Joan Baez and Donovan, who were both in Dylan's vicinity (and crosshairs) at the time. Once the MTV era began, the sequence, relatively primitive as it was, was seen as a music video prototype and began to inspire knockoffs and tributes. 'When Margo approached me with the concept, I did a deep dive on groups who'd done similar projects with poster cards or cue cards and was shocked to see how many there were,' says Hannah Gray Hall, who directed Price's 'Don't Wake Me Up.' 'It's like keeping a tradition going.' The first may have been 'Misfit,' the 1986 video by the stylish British pop band Curiosity Killed the Cat, which featured Andy Warhol dropping white cards during a brief cameo. The following year, INXS' 'Mediate' elevated the Dylan homage to another level. Starting with singer Michael Hutchence, all the band members held up and subsequently dropped lyric cards in sequence. 'You had to get the timing right,' INXS' Andrew Farriss tells Rolling Stone of filming outside of Sydney in the band's home country of Australia. 'You had to make sure the cards landed.' In another salute to the Dylan video, some of the words on the cards were intentionally misspelled. In a sign that not everything was instantly available on YouTube in 1987 (of course, YouTube was yet to exist), Farriss says he wasn't aware of the source material at the time. 'I'm not sure if it was the director's idea or Michael's, but I have to admit that I didn't even know Bob had a video like that,' he says. 'Maybe some of the other guys did. All I know is that it sounded like a good idea. I saw [the original] later and went, 'Oh, wow.'' The recreation was so obvious that one critic at the time noted that 'both the filmmaker [Pennebaker] and his subject [Dylan] ought to round up the lawyers,' but that didn't prevent the song from winning Video of the Year at the 1988 MTV Music Video Awards, in conjunction with the band's companion clip for 'Need You Tonight.' Since then, a cottage industry of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' videos has risen up, each honoring the original in different ways. As with Curiosity Killed the Cat, some approached their remakes as parodies. 'Weird Al' Yankovic's 'Bob,' in 2003, found everyone's favorite satirical hero with a Dylan wig, vest, and alleyway of his own, a pretend Ginsberg behind him, as Yankovic tweaked Dylan's surrealistic imagery ('Rise to vote, sir/Do geese see God/Do nine men interpret/Nine men, I nod'). Even though 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' isn't one of Dylan's topical songs, others have used the setup for protest shots of their own. Les Claypool and the Frog Brigade's 'Buzzards of Green Hill' has typically carnivalesque Claypool lyrics, which could be about the perils of drunken driving, hence Claypool's use of cue cards in the song's video. Earlier this year, Kim Gordon redid the packing-list lyrics of 'Bye Bye' into a minimalist anti-Trump protest song, 'Bye Bye 25!,' complete with a video with Gordon holding cards with the new lyrics ('immigrant,' 'hate,' 'injustice'). Artist Ed Ruscha has a Sonic Youth connection of his own (the band named its song 'Brave Men Run' after one of his paintings) and a Dylan one too: In 2012, his offered up a lyric-card homage, honoring friend and conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner with snippets of Weiner's own words. Wir sind Helden's 2005 video 'Nur ein Wort' ('Just One Word') featured the now-defunct German pop band in their own alley, dancing and cavorting as they flashed their lyric sheets. (Since the song is about encouraging a private person to express themselves — 'your silence is your tent' — the use of words in the video made conceptual sense.) And before he was slaying zombies, Andrew Lincoln was wooing Keira Knightley in Love Actually with, yep, words on white cards. In the case of Price's video, director Hall says Price's team approached her about doing something similar to Dylan, 'but they said to make it my own and do a contemporary take on it.' Using 77 different poster-board cards for her shoot, Hall thinks those lyric snippets also connect to the song's theme and to Dylan's own legacy: 'Margo and I didn't talk about it in depth, but to me, it speaks very heavily to our current social climate and people being isolated in their own ways and not looking into other people's opinions. It's more social commentary than protest song.' For Farriss, one thing unites nearly 40 years of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' homages. 'It's simple,' he says. 'Just because something's complicated doesn't mean it's necessarily good.'
