The Walking Dead in Galicia
It is not the first time that Galicia becomes the setting for a well-known series or film. On this occasion, the news has broken because the series The Walking Dead will film its new season in Galicia.
Casting is already underway for the extras and is taking place in Santiago de Compostela. All of this to host what appears to be the filming of the third season of the series The Walking Dead.
Something that is known because last July the agency in charge of carrying out the casting confirmed that different scenes would be filmed in Galicia between the months of September and October.
A formal confirmation that came after the information offered on July 26 at Comic-Con International held in San Diego, California by the protagonists and executive producers of the series Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, as well as Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, David Zabel and the executive producer and director Greg Nicotero.

About the story that will be filmed in Galicia
Apparently, the scene in which one of the main characters can be seen sailing in the wrong direction, believing he is heading to the United States, but ending up on the Galician coast, will be filmed in the region of Galicia.
Once on dry land, you will realise that you are in Galicia and you will find a town that has survived all kinds of ‘creatures’ in a sustainable way that will transport you to times gone by. A scene that will take place in the middle of a kind of medieval market and for which, precisely, extras are being sought.
A zombie movie was filmed in Vigo
This is not the first time that different areas of Galicia have become the setting for a series or a film. Amazon filmed part of its zombie movie, entitled ‘Apocalypse Z’ in Vigo.
This time, it was a film shot in the summer of 2023 in Vigo and Pontevedra and whose cast was headed by Francisco Ortiz Vigo. In this way, the adaptation of Manel Loureiro’s novel was brought to life.
Se trata de una cinta que cuenta con un guión de Ángel Agudo y que tiene en su reparto a Jose María Yazpik, actor conocido por su papel en Narcos, y que cuenta con la presencia también de la actriz Berta Vázquez en el papel de Lucía, una enfermera atrincherada que tiene que hacer frente a la amenaza que suponen los infectados.
All of this, in a film that sought to offer an image of the city in keeping with the theme of the film itself.

Galicia, the setting for multiple filmings
Without a doubt, the beauty and uniqueness of Galicia makes it an ideal land for filming of all kinds: from more modest projects to series of the prestige and international recognition of The Walking Dead.
Sus parajes verdes y su singularidad única hacen que esto sea así y que cada vez sean más las producciones que se fijan en esta tierra para sus rodajes.
A point that shows that Galicia offers not only quality tourism but that film and series lovers can also walk the streets that served as locations for their reference series and films, as will be the case with The Walking Dead.
If you want to organise a getaway to Galicia and experience these and other dream locations and places or reference areas first-hand, do not hesitate to organise your trip or excursion for a few days in any of the Galician regions with the help of Galicia Travels.
