Fans of "The Walking Dead" are eager to find out what the post-apocalyptic drama has in store for them, even before the camera starts to roll on May 4 for season 6. 

Just recently, some fans of the show were worried about the future of one of the most loved characters in the hit AMC zombie thriller. According to several rumors, Daryl Dixon, the character portrayed by actor Norman Reedus, will be killed off when the show returns. This is primarily due to reports that surfaced saying that the actor is selling his Atlanta, Georgia home. The reports claimed that Reedus knows that his character will not last long in the show, which is why he decided to sell the house located near the set location of the series. 

However, Reedus denied the claims during his recent interview with The Wrap, saying that he does not even own the house to begin with. Could this mean Daryl will not go anywhere next season? 

Meanwhile, E! News recently posted that two new characters will be introduced in the sixth season of the series. According to the report, a sarcastic and cynical new guy named Delvin will be introduced as a recurring character. He is reportedly not angry, but he believes that most people can get very stupid sometimes. Then there's another guy named Tucker, who works hard and values fairness. 

Avid fans of the show may find the addition of these new characters as a surprise, especially since both of them were never mentioned in Robert Kirkman's comic books with the same title, on which TV show is loosely based.

At the moment, the stars who will portray the new characters have yet to be announced. It is also unknown how they will encounter the group of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) who were still tucked safely behind the walls of the Alexandria Safe Zone when the fifth season ended. 

"The Walking Dead" season 6 will premiere later this year.
