It seems like fans have been waiting forever, but The Walking Dead Season 7 is just around the corner. Fans are dying to know which character Negan murdered. For those who haven't seen, or probably don't remember, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is introduced as the show's new antagonist. In season 6 final episode he beats somebody to death. The identity was not revealed but he called her Lucille as he bludgeons her with a baseball bat.

So here are the things you're eager to know about the upcoming season. From cast members to spoilers and air dates.

Air Date

So The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres this Sunday, Oct. 23 at 9 p.m. on FOX. As usual, the mid-season break comes after episode 8 and the season's final run will be in February 2017.

Who Died

A full-length trailer has already been released. So who did Negan kill? Can't tell you something we don't know. Promise. Besides, you'll agree with actor Michael Cudlitz when he says, you don't want to know. What we do know is that fans will find out right away who is on the opposite side of Lucille. There are lots of rumors and predictions floating around. But there are so many of them you know it's one of the best-kept secrets in the history of television.

Who Didn't Die

Yes, we can at least talk about this. First off, son duo Rick and Carl are off the hook. Fans thought that Sasha, Rosita, Aaron can be discounted because they're not that important. Besides, this would make viewers feel like they were cheated.

The characters Eugene, Daryl, Maggie, and Michonne were seen on-set during filming the upcoming episodes. Then again, that's not a one hundred percent guarantee since the show played around with linear in the past.

So the obvious candidates remain: Abraham and Glenn. Still, it's not a guarantee as Cudlitz explained that fans will"...get to see what a world with Negan and Abraham both in it will be like," implying that Abraham will likely make it past the premiere episode. Glenn, played by Steven Yeun, just appeared in a video along with co-stars wishing Selena Gomez a happy birthday. There's no point staying in Atlanta for so long after he's already killed off, right?

Any New Characters?

Yup, and your favorite might be one of them. The Kingdom, which is a new faction has its new leader named Ezekiel (Khary Payton). There's Shiva, the tiger seated alongside him. It was created with the use of CGI and animatronics. Yup, he'll be your fave in no time!

Alright, enough with the spoilers for now. Don't forget to tune in to get a dose of your fave night time habit. Enjoy!
