As brutal a television show as the small screen has ever offered up to unsuspecting viewers, the AMC mega hit The Walking Dead has never been shy about offing members of its cast in unexpected and brutal circumstances.

Forever attempting to one up its own audaciousness, the adaptation of Robert Kirkman's long-running comic series upped the ante massively when one season premiere promised the brutal death of not one, but two major characters thanks to Negan's bat.

Who?

Well, no one knew.

Having refused to tell the cast, the show went as far as to shoot death scenes for many of the central ensemble so that even leaked footage couldn't spoil the surprise. Truly groundbreaking commitment to avoiding spoilers.
