The Walking Dead: 10 Characters Most Likely To Die In Season 10

Okay, so maybe we’re dreaming. But think about it. Yes, the once monstrous Negan does seem to be at the centre of a long running redemption arc—although it’ll take more than lopping off Alpha’s head for us to forgive his earlier antics.

But there’s always the possibility that, as we’re theorizing may be the case with Carol, the show is centring this character as a misdirect, and the slow journey of Negan from the charming face of unforgivable evil to an affable antihero will end early with him dispatched just to mess with viewer’s heads.

For one thing, he’s made a powerful enemy in the form of Beta, who made it clear what he’s capable of when he dispatched Gamma recently. But Negan also doesn’t have a firm allegiance with anyone left standing amongst the central cast, having double crossed the Whisperers without guaranteeing that the survivors will welcome him back into their fold.

With enemies amongst both camps (hi, Aaron), there’s a chance Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s greatest role could be coming to a brutal end befitting the character.
