12 Bloody Good Things We Already Know About The Walking Dead Season 7

Gimple has hinted at Carl and Negan's unique friendship from the comic books coming to life in the show. "It may be very brief but we will absolutely see them have a pretty intense moment," he told THR. "There's going to be a bit of remixing and there may be another character involved who takes some of it. That relationship will be absolutely shown. Whether it's with Carl or not, I can not say. But I absolutely want to explore Negan having that kind of respect for someone, which is the hallmark of that relationship."
