Walking Dead Season 7 Spoilers, Cast: Boss Hints Deaths in Season 7 Premiere

The much-awaited premiere of "The Walking Dead" Season 7 is nearing and fans are becoming more restless. Especially now that Negan might kill not just one from Rick's team.

Was this confirmed by the bosses? Walking Dead executive producer Greg Nicotero might just did with the use of the word "deaths" in his recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. Nicotero is the go-to director for shows and films which involved horror and heavy makeup. He did the premiere and finale episodes for the past "Walking Dead" seasons, EW reported.

Yup, he is responsible for that major cliffhanger that left us all wondering: Who will die in the hands of Negan? How can Rick and the gang possibly escape that? We don't know. With all the goons surrounding them, we can say Rick and friends are dead meat. Or are they?

"I don't think we would have changed anything. I would have still supported doing it the way that we did it, because of the fact that the story doesn't end there. If we would have shown the deaths, then they wouldn't have felt our characters in season 7 the way they need to. And the thing that I think a lot of people will get out of it is how that moment changes the entire makeup of our universe within a split second. And it's that moment that launches our entire season 7 into that direction," he said in the interview.

Did you see the word "deaths?" That's with an "s." People are now wondering how many will die.

It could have been poor word choice, E!News said in reaction to the revelation of Nicotero. It is unlikely to reveal such a detail in a careless manner, E!News defended.

Bu then again, with the show known to be unpredictable, we might be wrong! Maybe, this is just like Glenn's supposed death and fans panicked.

The Walking Dead Season 6 ended with a major whopping cliffhanger, as most series does. The last scene showed Negan holding a barbed-covered bat which he will use to kill one of Rick's team. He walked back and forth choosing who the unfortunate one is.

We leave it up to your imagination. Study what he said, and don't panic.
