THE WALKING DEAD is not messing around one bit when it comes to preserving the secret of who Negan killed at the end of Season Six. With fans speculating and trying to decipher clues from the season finale that might support their theories and also going back to the original comics, there is a lot of people who wants answers to the cliffhanger immediately. 

But sorry, folks… That's not how this all works, and allowing the series to tell you in due time is all part of the fun. You aren't entitled to know right away, because you don't have the patience to wait. And the series, which is currently in production in Atlanta for Season Seven, is taking every last precaution possible to make sure spies can't reveal anything in advance. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, each of the 11 cast members involved in Season Six's final sequence – Carl (Chandler Riggs), Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Eugene (Josh McDermitt), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Arron (Ross Marquand), Rosita (Christian Serratos), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) and Glenn (Steven Yeun) – who were facing the barrel of Negan's barbed wire bat Lucille have all filmed their own individual death scene. From there, the producers and the episode's director will work with the editors in order to ultimately decide who met their end at the hands of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's villain. 

Fans have been sending up drones over production in the hopes of capturing something meaningful and learning the identity of Negan's victim, but the show is willing to do the extra legwork in order to keep fans guessing until the Season Seven premiere. That's some real committment to secrecy. A production shouldn't have to go to these extra lengths in order to maintain the integrity of the story they want to tell… but sadly this is the state of affairs we find ourselves in, where no one can wait for anything, and everyone must be killed as a result.
