You might think you know what's in store for The Walking Dead's season 7 finale [1], but one of the show's producers promises that it will be the best one yet. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Greg Nicotero, who directed the finale episode, explained why the tensions between Rick and the Negan's army [2] will finally reach its boiling point.

"I think it's one of the best scripts that we've ever produced, just in terms of pure character arc," Nicotero confessed [3]. "And it really sums up the trajectory of the second half of the season perfectly. A lot of the questions, and a lot of the things that we spent time cultivating over the first half of the season and the second half of the season, definitely come to a head."

When asked about filming the highly anticipated finale, Nicotero shared, "It was a f*cking bear, man. We had about a five-day prep and a 10-day shoot, and we were moving, literally, on pure instinct . . . Having been in the trenches with these guys so many times before, it was exciting and every single day, on set, we had fun and we got a chance to do a lot of great emotional stuff, a lot of great action stuff, sort of weaving all of these pieces together, and I f*cking loved every second of it."

This comes after The Walking Dead [4]'s Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie on the show, teased the season 7 finale [5] as "incredibly bittersweet, beautiful, and heartbreaking."

Guess we will just have to wait and see how it all unfolds on April 2. And a friendly reminder to Greg Nicotero: if Daryl dies, we will riot!
