"The Walking Dead" season 6 ended with a cliffhanger as Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) killed one of the main core cast members. As per the Hollywood Reporter, the only way for the studios to prevent leaks from spilling all over the internet was to film Negan killing each character and now nobody, even the cast, is aware of who died. 

According to the report, each character filmed a death scene for the season 7 premiere. This ensures that even if there are on-set insiders or paparazzi within the area taking photographs, there is no guarantee that the shot they have is of the right character being killed off.

It will also allow the producers and writers to kill off whomever they want but still have the option to change their mind in case they need the story to progress in a different direction.

Due to this, it is possible that any of the characters has been killed by Negan although most fans believe his target to be Daryl (Norman Reedus) or Glenn (Steven Yeun). There are also rumors of Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) being the likely choice given his character should be dead at this point if they follow the story from the comic books.

Despite one character being killed off, a report from TV Line reveals that two new characters are being added to the roster. However, AMC has yet to make an official announcement, yet the predictions and leaks from TV Line, as stated by IGN, have proven accurate in the past and it is likely these characters will indeed make an appearance.

The first new character is reportedly going to be named Naomi and is a "grandmotherly" woman who, despite her age, will do whatever it takes given that she has already lost everyone she cared about. The other is a teenage girl named Jennie and is described as someone with a "world-weary toughness" and is also likened as to Beth Greene (Emily Kinney).

"The Walking Dead" season 7 will premiere this October.
