Season 4 will be the last for Darryl Dixon

‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’ Renewed For Fourth & Final Season https://share.google/cilJsboF4Fyrq9nvL

I have no hint how a 4th season would work, as I believed the arc for Daryl should bring it all to a close with one additional season (the forthcoming third).

Which is good...because I feel like they are just milking this for the very last profit and NOT because there is real story to tell, or that the characters need to grown in any area.

The development door was opened for Daryl with the Isabel/Laurent relationship, but I fear the showrunners will drop said development in favor of more Daryl/Carol, since none of the season 3 teasers show even a clip or spoken reference to Laurent and his well-being, While its common for some teasers to hold back key scenes or character reveals, the producers of this series should have focused on the new relationship Daryl made, instead of falling back into the fanboy wish fulfillment territory of Daryl running around with his bestie.

Season 1 was excellent. Season 2 was a disappointing season. They killed everyone from Season 1 and it was back to Daryl and Carol killing everyone. I still will watch the next 2 seasons. I am a sucker.

I do hope Daryl and Carol make it home. My perfect ending would be Rick to greet them at Alexandria.

Having one or both characters never return to America is the opposite of this "unintentional journey of self discovery" theme which drives the series, especially in Daryl's case, as he--in creating another "family" for himself with Laurent--has learned that he's not just wandering around the stage of life with no deeper personal connections / meaning of his own. Yes, he's effectively the uncle to Judith & R.J., but he's never started a family of his own, and Laurent now--or should--serve that purpose, pushing Daryl to return to America to continue building on this new life. How the long-awaited reunion with Rick plays into that is anyone's guess.

Norman Reedus said that the Daryl character will continue in-universe. At the Comic Con panel two years ago, they announced that they were planning a show that would bring all the characters together. I think it will continue there.

Really, what happened was that they had ideas about the remaining characters from TWD but not a big one that kept them together. So they made separate shows instead to "get them in place" for the "reunion".

Admittedly, the only one that's mattered to the overall plot leftover from TWD was the one about Michonne tracking down Rick and them stopping the Civic Republic Conspiracy.

Gimple has talked about a reunion series infrequently in interviews, which some have interpreted as being a Walking Dead Season 12, though there hasn't been much on that front at all. Admittedly, they may not want to sit on making any kind of official announcement lest they repeat the situation where they announced a trilogy of Rick movies which plagued the franchise like the proverbial elephant in the room for close to four years.

Good points. Gimple can be tight lipped abut the idea of a reunion movie, but he knows the WD TV franchise is coming to a close, no matter what discussed at SDCC and on platforms. Dead City has at least one good season left in it, while i'm less enthusiastic about the various teasers of Daryl Dixon; Maggie has a journey to complete on two fronts: all thing Negan and his connection to her manipulative son. On the other hand, Daryl has no hard reason to remain in Europe. Yes, we know the plot of the upcoming season will--in part--involve the besties' attempt to return to America, but any other conflicts and incidents they fall into are not likely going to be related to anything back in America--especially Rick Grimes or Laurent.

I'm wondering if the upcoming season should be its last, unless it turns out to be WD-TV gold.

The TWD universe will continue until 2040, but likely with new characters, new actors, and new TV series. We'll likely say goodbye to the current TWD characters with a miniseries.

2040? That's marching into soap-opera territory, but unlike the soaps, which tended to hold on to legacy characters as series anchors and/or bridges for new generations, if TWD cleans its house of everyone ever introduced on TWD and FTWD, I have a difficult time seeing it have any pull with the audience.

Not to completely 'clean up', but all the older characters, including Rick, can give way and continue on Judith.

It should be thought of as a universe like Star Trek, not as a soap opera.

Unless there's still threats like Genet's group, who had an active experimental program to enhance Walkers to be used as weapons, one would believe the world would become a less dangerous place by the time Judith reaches adulthood, particularly with larger threats such as the Civic Republic largely defeated, and organizations such as the Burazi being isolated with no plans to expand (in the Commonwealth or Savior mode).

In The Ones Who Live, Beale believed the hordes of Walkers across America posed a threat so great that humankind only had 14 years left to survive. Despite his claims that some herds were a million strong, Walkers shambling across a largely unpopulated area of the nation leads to the creatures eventually falling into a dormant state (as seen in TWD S11/ E1: "Acheron - Part 1") or eventually rotting away. With a reduced threat level--at least from the driving subject of this series concept--one wonders what kind of "further adventures of..." would be interesting so many years down the road.
