The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Major Predictions

2. But No Major Characters Will Die

Of course no one is truly safe on The Walking Dead, but as we're only at season 6 (and there will presumably be many more to come) there are a number of the major characters for whom it just seems way too early to contemplate killing off, even if they would provide the biggest shocks. 

Rick is the de facto main character on the show, and in the comics, so it seems likely that he'll be making it through until the end. Carol has shown great growth over the past couple of years, so it'd be really surprising to see them undo that so soon. Michonne is another total female bad-ass, with great potential for more as well, so that would be a strange decision, and it's difficult to imagine them killing of Carl at this point. 

Daryl is a wildcard in terms of not being in the comics, but he's so popular that there'd be riots if he was killed off. That leaves Maggie and Glenn. The former has been a good character so far, but she should have a much bigger part to play further down the line. Glenn is another of the most popular characters on the show, and although the man playing him, Steven Yeun, has spoken about his potential death, it seems unlikely to arrive in season 6, unless it comes right at the end of the finale.
