The popular zombie drama "The Walking Dead" had fans left hanging after its sixth season concluded. There are questions as to who Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) killed in the end. In the upcoming season, it seems that Negan's world will change.

Negan as a game changer

In a recent report, Executive Producer Gale Ann Hurd shared that Negan will become a bit of a game changer in Season 7. She added that the show will pick up where it left off and that some fans will be unhappy once the show kicks in.

Looking back on the finale episode of Season 6, Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group brought Maggie (Lauren Cohan) for medical attention due to her pregnancy. Negan, however, blocked every which way they went and held them captive. All of them were lined up while Negan started beating the victim. This scene did not show who the victim was. Fans need to wait for Season 7 for that to be revealed.

From this ending, there are theories on which the victim may be. It is most likely that the victim is Glenn (Steven Yeun), Daryl (Norman Reedus) or Abraham (Michael Cudlitz). There are also speculations of Maggie to be the one being hit.

While these theories are coming out, Cudlitz shared hints that Abraham will still be around. In fact, he has been given scripts as the production moves along. However, despite the hint, fans are still speculating that it is Abraham who has been the victim of Negan. Other reports claim that Cudlitz is not yet seen on set.

Who Will Survive?

Glenn is most likely to be killed if the show is based on the comics. He was also speculated to be hit by Negan's bat while Abraham was shot. It may become a possibility since Abraham is already dead in the comics.

Reedus, on the other hand, noted that Season 7 is a mind-blowing season. But he remains quiet about details regarding the upcoming season. Hints from Executive Producer Scott M. Gimple also bared that the premiere episode of Season 7 will devastate those who survived.

Meanwhile, Hurd also shared that the importance of the show is based on humans and not the zombies. For one, many have been surprised about the concept. She further shared that what attracted her to the story is the character's journey in a new world.

Fans and followers can expect Negan's return on "The Walking Dead" Season 7 on October 9.to
