“I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce a third season and to be working side by side with the brilliant Melissa McBride,” Reedus previously said in a statement, ahead of the second season. “Season 2 is some of my favorite storytelling of this series. Watching Melissa shine along with our brilliant cast and crew has been one of my fondest memories playing this character.”

McBride joined the series, set in Europe, in Season 2 although it was initially supposed to focus on both Daryl and Carol from the beginning. “It’s one of the things that distinguishes us from the other ‘Walking Dead’ shows — that we get to show how different parts of the world have responded to the walker apocalypse and the different impact it has had in different places and come up with some cool, new things that you don’t see in the American versions,” Zabel told Variety last year.
