It certainly sounds like Nicotero is implying that multiple characters are going to die in The Walking Dead season 7 premiere.
But even if that is the case, we can be sure that more deaths will soon follow no matter what; this is The Walking Dead, after all.
Ever since The Walking Dead aired its season 6 finale back in April, the biggest question among fans of the AMC zombie series has been, “Who did Negan kill?”
The Walking Dead season 7 premieres October 23rd, 2016, on AMC.
