Of late, Walking Dead fans have been left anxious waiting for the resolution to the cliffhanger ending to the Season 6 finale, “Last Day on Earth” – which Nicotero directed.
Like Nicotero, The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has already confirmed that Rick (Andrew Lincoln) was not the one who had a fatal encounter with Negan’s barbed wire-wrapped bat Lucille in the season 6 finale (as genuinely shocking as that development would have been).
The Walking Dead season 7 premieres on AMC on October 23rd, 2016.
