The last season of "The Walking Dead" left viewers with what is dubbed as "the biggest cliffhanger" in the show's history. Negan definitely killed someone, and fans will only know his victim's identity in the season 7 premiere sometime in the Fall. The show is known to be good in keeping the lid on spoilers, but Tyler James Williams admits that he already knows who Negan killed, and he isn't going to tell.

Williams is known for his role as Noah during 2014 to 2015, and he told Digital Spy that his old castmates dished the details to him. "If I wanted to say it, I could," he told Digital Spy. "But those are all friends of mine, and the producers are friends of mine, and I want to maintain that integrity and see them play that [storyline] out... I think what people really want to know is whether or not they're right. That's really all people are looking for - am I right? And you're not getting that from me!" the actor teased.

Negan is the show's villain, but he sure does not seem like the typical bad guys seen on TV. Showrunner Scott Gimple previously talked to Entertainment Weekly where he described Negan's character, saying, "Through another lens, he's not a bad guy at all in the comic. He does some horrible things, but our people do some horrible things. He is, though, this unrepentant a-hole. He is somebody who is the ultimate bully. The worst kind of bullies in high school, and junior high, and elementary school, and kindergarten, pre-school, and the womb were the bullies that were funny... They were funny and yet they were awful. That's such a combination. And Negan is the ultimate version of that bully."

New characters will surely be present next season, with one eccentric character from the comic book. AMC recently made a casting call for the character of Augustus, but reports say that the description closely resembles Ezekiel. TVLine noted that based on Robert Kirkman's novel, he is a "self-proclaimed king of The Kingdom" and he appears to be "flamboyant and wise, nice and weird." He walks with a pet tiger named Shiva and he is said to have an affair with Michonne.
