The Walking Dead: Will Negan kill Daryl Dixon?
"Eeny, meeny, miny, more," AMC president Charlie Collier said in a statement -- mimicking Negan's terrifying line before choosing his victim last season. "What a joy to partner with Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple and some of the hardest-working people in television to bring The Walking Dead to the fans. And, most important, thanks to those fans for breathing life into this remarkable series right along with us."
The Walking Dead has ranked as the No. 1 show on television in the all-important 18-49 ratings category for the past four years, making the renewal a no brainer.
The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres Sunday, Oct. 23 at 9/8c on AMC.
