'The Walking Dead' Season 6 News, Spoilers: Norman Reedus Says Finale Is 'Most Hard-Core' Ever
With all the comments the show's cast member's have made and all the news that have come out about its finale, it may be safe to say that the upcoming season ender of "The Walking Dead" is one of the most-hyped in television history.
As its cast and crew have previewed multiple times, long-awaited mega-villain Negan will make a terrifying entrance that will rock the survivors' world in the season finale. Negan, played by "The Good Wife" actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is the leader of the Saviors, the gang currently making life miserable for Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his group in the popular AMC series. As readers of Robert Kirkman's "Walking Dead" comic book series, on which the AMC show is based, know, Negan's arrival marks the end of the line for one of the most well-liked characters in the series.

In the comic books, Negan bashes Glenn's (Steven Yeun) head in with a barbed wire-covered baseball bat he carries everywhere and fondly calls Lucille.
This won't necessarily be the case in the season finale, however, as the show often deviates from events in the comic books.
Though everyone connected with "The Walking Dead" has so far kept mum about who Negan kills in the season 6 finale, most of them have also dropped hints and described the finale's impact on avid fans of the series.
Norman Reedus, who plays the beloved character Daryl Dixon, may be the last of the main characters to comment on the finale.
In a recent interview with Deadline, Reedus said, "Without a doubt, this whole season has been just completely ballistic." He added:
"I will say that the season 6 finale is the most hard-core finale we've ever done, if not the best episode we've ever done. I mean I saw a rough, rough, rough cut of it way back when and I was speechless for at least an hour. So hold on for the rest of this, because it gets real crazy."
Meanwhile, Lincoln re-iterated just how powerful the finale will be, telling Entertainment Weekly: "Just get ready, man. Just get ready."
"I read the script and I went, 'This is the greatest entrance ever written,'" he teased.
The extended 90-minute season 6 finale of "The Walking Dead" airs Sunday, April 3, at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
