The Walking Dead finale is nearing ever closer, with the question over ‘who will Negan kill’ soon to be answered. In a revealing interview with various members of the cast and crew, ET learned just what we can expect from season six’s last episode.
Excitingly, Maggie Greene actor Lauren Cohan said the episode will be the "the cliff-hangerist episode” of all time, leading many to believe villain Negan will definitely be back for season seven.
Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd also confirmed that the character, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, will definitely be using his infamous bat from the comic books on someone.
"Someone is going to be facing Lucille," Hurd said. "If you don't know what Lucille is, it's what he names his bat. So yes, at some point, someone is going to be facing Lucille."
