Series director Greg Nicotero discussed the details via Entertainment Weekly on what fans should expect in the upcoming "The Walking Dead" Season 7. Nicotero stated, "Next season is really Negan's story and how our group has to deal with who he is and what his way of life is, so I think [the season 6 cliffhanger is] the perfect ending to this season.
Watching everyone on their knees, stripped down to the barest vulnerability, and knowing that the cavalry's not coming over the hill. Our group has never been in the situation before, so I think its the perfect opportunity. I was very passionate about ending season 6 on a cliffhanger and not knowing, because I feel like it propels us into the next season in a great way."
With that being said, a video of the upcoming episode premiere has been leaked online. The teaser clip hints that Negan will kill Lucille as the show returns. Unfortunately, the leaked video has already been removed from Youtube due to its copyright issues, however, other teaser clips are still circulating online, Movie Web has cited.
