“I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce a third season and to be working side by side with the brilliant Melissa McBride,” Reedus said. “Season two 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. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it and we can’t wait to keep the story going.”
