If You're Concerned The Walking Dead Will Draw Out the Negan Death Reveal, Don't Worry

In an interview with Vulture, Jeffrey Dean Morgan offered quite a bit of insight on both the finale and the impending premiere.

• On where the season begins: "Season seven picks up right where we left off and you'll see who was at the end of that bat and what happened from there."
• On that devastating cliffhanger: "I didn't know it would be a cliffhanger until I watched the show."
• On why the cliffhanger happened, and a reaffirmation of season seven's start: "That's where they wanted to end the story. It's not about the death of that person. And the death of the person kicks off season seven and that will be a big part of who is on the receiving end of Lucille."
