The Walking Dead is set to return in less than two weeks and fans are eager to know where the show’s future is headed. Ahead of the show’s milestone season 10 the cast gathered for a special screening of the premiere episode, where the stars spoke out about the show.
Negan (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) has long been a fan-favourite, and fans have been eager to see where his character is headed next season.
Negan took to screens back in season six as the new baseball-bat wielding villain who wasn’t afraid to kill off anyone who got in his way.
However, the character’s most recent appearances seemed to see him undergo a huge character transformation after he saved Judith Grimes from a snow storm (Cailey Fleming).
Speaking to Variety.com, Jeffrey told the publication that his character would continue his redemption arc and this season would see him finally released from jail.
