The Walking Dead Season 7 Latest News

Speaking at the Edinburgh Intl. TV Festival (via Variety), producer Gale Anne Hurd talked a bit about what to expect from The Walking Dead season 7, including Negan's planned execution of an unlucky Alexandrian. Hurd reiterated that fans won't have to wait long to see who the new villain kills in that infamous cliffhanger.

“In this new season Negan is the gamechanger, and whatever we did someone was going to be unhappy… so we promised we will be picking up where that left off; we are not going to draw it out,” Hurd said.

Hurd also talked a bit about how The Walking Dead continues to be about the human characters and how humans are the real danger:

“What attracted me to [Robert Kirkman’s] comic-book series is that it is a story about characters on a journey into this new world, and constantly trying to figure out not only how to survive but what’s important to them, and some characters give up, some characters commit suicide, and they are constantly evolving, they are constantly meeting new characters; they have to determine friend or foe, and very quickly we realize that it is not the zombies you have to be afraid of, it’s the other humans,” she said.

We also get confirmation that Ezekiel and his pet tiger, Shiva, will definitely be in the next season of The Walking Dead. Ezekiel, who is the leader of a new settlement called The Kingdom, will be played by Khary Payton (Young Justice).

AMC has released a sneak peak of The Walking Dead season 7 featuring Dwight, one of Negan's lieutenants from last season. It's a pretty creepy little scene on a highway:

Should we read more into the fact that Dwight is clearly riding Daryl's bike? And is that Daryl's vest? We're going to stay away from speculation for now...
