The Walking Dead Season 7 Spoilers
6 Things We'll Definitely See on The Walking Dead Season 7
The Walking Dead's sixth season finale was absolutely insane, so we haven't stopped obsessing over the fates of our favorite members of the zombie apocalypse since. Using all of the details we know about season seven, as well as plenty of frustrating hints from the cast and producers, we've been able to put together a list of some integral plot points and key character developments that are going to go down when the show returns on Sunday.
1 We'll Find Out Who Negan Kills
2 Rick and Co. Will Start Working For Negan
3 Carl and Negan Will Forge an Unlikely Friendship
4 We’ll See the Kingdom Get Introduced
In the books, the Kingdom is another community nearby Alexandria that's led by a former zookeeper named "King Ezekiel" and his pet tiger, Shiva (yes, a real tiger). Ezekiel hates Negan, so he's eventually persuaded to team up with Rick to try and take the Saviors down. In the show's finale, as well as very briefly in the penultimate episode, we get glimpses of some Kingdom citizens, clad in body armor and riding horses. One of the trailers for season seven even focuses entirely on introducing viewers to Ezekiel, and he seems as eccentric as ever.
5 As Well as a Few More Settlements
When POPSUGAR recently spoke to actor Ross Marquand, who plays Aaron, he hinted that the Saviors and the Kingdom aren't the only communities Rick and company will come in contact with. "The Kingdom is coming into play, of course we have the Saviors and their compound, and not to give too much away, but there are other groups that we're going to be meeting up with as well," he revealed. "It's going to change [the characters] immeasurably."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Greg Nicotero also opened up about where we can expect the main characters to go after Negan does his thing:
"We're really going to get a great sense of a larger world and what these different communities are like, who the people are that are there and what they have to offer, so for us, it's very exciting. The scripts are fantastic. You know, the first episode, obviously, was pretty intense and pretty brutal, and pretty sad and emotional and definitely a challenge for everybody involved to sort of take us to this different place, but the show has a lot of really unique flavors to offer."
He additionally confirmed that these introductions will "happen pretty rapidly and pretty dramatically as we get into episodes one, two, three, and four."
