Walking Dead

The Walking Dead willfully steered itself into some Game of Thrones-style set shenanigans, knowing that each and every actor sighting would set off a frenzy of speculation as to which cast member will end up on the other end of Negan’s bat, come Season 7. We might be able to cross off Daryl and Glenn, thanks to some off-set Georgia commotion, but let’s investigate, shall we?

The Walking Dead has borrowed somewhat more liberally from its source material than adaptations like Game of Thrones, though there always remains a possibility of the AMC drama catching up to, even overtaking Robert Kirkman’s work. The live-action Walking Dead has covered roughly 2/3 of the comics over six seasons, so is Kirkman worried about catching up?

The Walking Dead Season 7 has already begun production, kicking off a new round of fan investigation to fill the void of Game of Thrones‘’ latest twist, and giving producers one hell of a challenge to keep Negan’s victim under wraps. That said, creator Robert Kirkman isn’t done defending the controversial cliffhanger, likening it to the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and wanting fans to hope, not grieve.

Death on a genre series is increasingly difficult to accept these days, something The Walking Dead learned the hard way in Season 6 when fans easily deduced Glenn’s survival from an apparently-grisly demise. That super fan-sleuthing again reared its head with the Season 6 finale, but series star Lauren Cohan says viewers may be wasting their time picking apart the audio of Negan’s now-famous kill.

Fires are still raging among The Walking Dead fandom after Sunday’s cliffhanger finale “Last Day on Earth,” which obscured a major death until the seventh season this coming fall. We’ve heard showrunners back up the decisions, but thousands of fans are still demanding resolution, drafting an actual petition for AMC to reveal the victim.

Outrage over The Walking Dead Season 6 finale has barely cooled, but already AMC has in mind a delivery date for the whole Season 6 she-bang, including Negan’s F-bombs. The Walking Dead: The Complete Sixth Season will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD this August, while you can see the cover art right now.

Among the many questions (and blind rage) coursing through The Walking Dead fans after Sunday’s cliffhanger end to Season 6, many wonder how the AMC horror drama intends to keep its big death under wraps from prying eyes on the set. Now, producers reveal that even the cast remains in the dark, promising to take extra precaution to preserve Season 7 secrecy.

And lo, The Walking Dead has come to yet another end, closing out Season 6 with at least someone’s “Last Day on Earth,” though it’s safe to say fan reactions to Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s introduction as Negan proved … divisive. Now, showrunner Scott Gimple and creator Robert Kirkman open up on the big twist, possible backlash, and what it means for Season 7.

Sunday’s penultimate Walking Dead Season 6 installment may have ended on a frustrating cliffhanger, but next weeks’ finale may tear fandom asunder. We have our first clip of the Season 6 closer as well, in which Morgan makes a new friend, but could be facing his “Last Day on Earth.”

‘The Walking Dead’ sets up a brutal Season 6 finale heading “East,” but did they really just throw another colossal fakeout to mess with fans? Who ran afoul of Saviors, and who took some scissors to the head? Find out in our full review of tonight’s penultimate Season 6 hour!
