More on Negan, E! News caught up with Hurd and she revealed that fans might be very shocked with what is in store for them this Season 7 of "The Walking Dead" specifically with the introduction of Negan. Hurd was at the Television Critics Association summer press tour and she shared that the villain now is unlike any other that people have seen on the show simply because he is charismatic and enjoys what he does.

Fans are aware that Negan is the big bad since he is also in the comics but Hurd said that actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan bringing him to life has made the character all the more villainous. She added, "He doesn't seem to have much of a conscience about it, and that's the kind of person we haven't seen before." She pointed out that the villains in the past season had reasons why they did what they had to do but Negan has no excuse at all. She teased, "It's Negan's world now and we're all living in it."

"The Walking Dead" Season 7 airs this October 23 at 9 P.M. on AMC.
