Fans Can’t Stop Talking About This Jaw-Dropping Moment in ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’!

AMC announced the “Fan-Favorite Moment of the Year” from The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol (though it might be kinda obvious).

Just to be clear, this isn’t meant as a disrespect to the entire season or to everyone involved in making it happen. But when AMC asked the fans to vote for their favorite moment from Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol)-starring The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, did they really think anything was going to beat that moment from S02E04: “La Paradis Pour Toi” (directed by Michael Slovis and written by Jason Richman and David Zabel) when Daryl and Carol had that heart-crushing reunion? Earlier today, “The Walking Dead” social media accounts confirmed that the memorable moment had walked away with the top honor of being “Fan-Favorite Moment of the Year.”

Here’s a look at the winning moment – and you can check out more behind-the-scenes intel in the “episode insider” that we have waiting for you above:

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon S03 Train Scene Will “Blow People Away”

Executive Producer Steve Squillante (who also served as Netflix’s VP of physical production for local language originals between 2018-20) offered some insights into the production and what filming in Spain brings to the spinoff series with Variety – including a tease about a train sequence that will “blow people away.”

“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” Isn’t an American Show Filming In a New Locale: Much like what we saw when filming was going down in France, “95%-plus” of Season 3 was filmed in Spain with a production team that was “90%-plus” Spanish. “This is not an American show that’s just relocated to France and then to Spain to shoot another version of an American show. This is an American show that’s come into the continent and has not only just embraced but also completely wrapped its arms around the history of the people inside the countries and regions that we’re shooting,” Squillante explained.

“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” Season 3 Has a Train Sequence That Will “Blow People Away”: Squillante noted a number of the key locations that the spinoff series was able to film at or will be filming at (like Barcelona, Seville, and Granada) – including some “incredible stuff” while visiting Aragón and filming in the ruins of Belchite, a town devastated during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War. But this was the part that caught our eye: apparently, there is a train sequence that was filmed in Aragón that required “a secure fallow train line” that Squillante teased would “blow people away.”

What Makes Spain Perfect for “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” Season 3: “Spain has a really wonderful canvas that I don’t believe viewers are quite as familiar with. We’re taking advantage of our story and our ability to move the way we are to present a little bit more of the whole picture of Spain,” shared Squillante. “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. Spain presents very interesting parallels to California. But a three-hour train ride from Madrid and you’re in Galicia, which is almost like New England.”

Looking ahead, AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 tracks Carol and Daryl as they continue their journey toward home and the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.

Eduardo Noriega (The Devil’s Backbone, Vantage Point), Óscar Jaenada (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Hernán), and Alexandra Masangkay (The Platform, Valley of Shadows) will be joining the cast as series regulars for the third season. In addition, Candela Saitta (Máxima, Último primer día) and Hugo Arbués (Through My Window, Past Lies) are set for Season 3 in recurring roles. In addition, Stephen Merchant (The Office, The Outlaws) has joined the spinoff series’ cast.
