The Walking Dead: Hard-hitting season 7 promos ask 'Who will meet Lucille?'

There's only two months to go before the zombie series returns

As the wait for The Walking Dead season 7 intensifies, so too does the anticipation of discovering the identity of Negan's victim.

That's right, in the final episode of the AMC drama's sixth season, one poor character found themselves on the wrong side of the baseball bat of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's new antagonist.

Executive producer and part-time director Greg Nicotero previously revealed that fans won't have long to wait when the show returns in October - we'll see the death in all its grisly glory in the season's opening scene.

The release of these new promos puts the spotlight on each of those in the running to be offed (you can find our prediction here).

1 | Glenn (Steven Yeun)

2 | Abraham (Michael Cudlitz)

3 | Eugene (Josh McDermitt)

4 | Michonne (Danai Gurira)

5 | Maggie (Lauren Cohan)

6 | Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green)

7 | Daryl (Norman Reedus)

8 | Rosita (Christian Serratos)

9 | Aaron (Ross Marquand)

10 | Carl (Chandler Riggs)

11 | Rick (Andrew Lincoln)

If you hadn't already guessed, the placement of the above clips are in order of what we believe to be most to least likely (Rick and Carl are basically confirmed to be returning).

Still, we'll have to wait to find out who Negan kills when The Walking Dead returns in the US on 23 October followed by its UK airing the following day on FOX.
