This casting update is great news for TWD fans that loved the oh-so-bad Negan from the moment he appeared in The Walking Dead Season 6 and were thrilled that Jeffrey Dean Morgan landed the gig. But that didn’t totally make up for the fan rage over the Season 6 cliffhanger.

Other Season 7 spoilers relate to whom Negan killed and the Spoil the Dead forum has some insight based on a shooting tracker that TWD set-watchers update as they see actors on the set in Georgia. Everyone is expecting one death at Negan’s hands, but spoilers tease there may be two!

Showrunners said that they would take a hard left from the graphic novels that saw Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) met his demise at the end of Negan’s beloved bat Lucille. TWD producer and writer Scott Gimple talked to Entertainment Weekly about the Season 6 finale kill.Gimple’s remarks may have hinted at two deaths. He told EW of the show compared to the comic, “So will it be different? Absolutely. Will it be the same thing? Absolutely.” But what does that mean? When you combine that spoiler hint with the shooting schedule, it seems to indicate a double death.

Neither Steven Yeun nor Michael Cudlitz have been seen shooting in Atlanta except for an episode or two at the beginning of the Season 7. The season reportedly filmed the aftermath of the death scene plus a flashback scene early on when these two were around.After that, according to reports from the set, there have been no sightings of the two actors. Does that mean both Glenn and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) died at the hands of Negan? That would fit with what Gimple said.

After that, according to reports from the set, there have been no sightings of the two actors. Does that mean both Glenn and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) died at the hands of Negan? That would fit with what Gimple said. Since Glenn died in the comics, him dying as Season 7 kicks off would make it “the same.” Then, if Negan killed Abraham, that would also be “different.” If you recall the Season 6 finale, everyone in the lineup of potential victims was mentally (or physically broken) except two.

The only two that remained defiant were Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) and Abraham. The only one who met Negan’s eyes fearlessly was Abraham – that makes him a threat, plus he’s the biggest guy in Rick Grimes’ (Andrew Lincoln) group. Negan is known to be a man who will not kill women and children, so Carl’s defiance wouldn’t faze him. But Abraham could be a problem since he’s one of the most dangerous members of Rick’s alliance. Taking out Abraham would be a smart move.
