Walking Dead/Season 7

Season seven of the survival horror television series The Walking Dead began airing on AMC on October 23rd, 2016. Unquestionably, the most highly anticipated season of the series to date, it picks up following the events of the season six cliffhanger, which introduced the super-bad guy Negan, and concluded with the unrevealed mystery of "Which member of Team Rick died at the hands of Negan and his barb-wire wrapped baseball bat, Lucille?" That question spurned fandom into overload for the following six months until finally answered in gruesome and shockingly disturbing detail in the season seven premiere episode, "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be". As Negan was now presented as the primary antagonist of the series, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan was now added to the show's main line-up. All of the previous main cast members from season six received credit in the premiere episode so as to not prematurely spoil the mystery of who would get "lucilled".

Principal cast
Note: Actors Steven Yeun and Michael Cudlitz remained in the main credit cast list for "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be", but were removed following this episode.
