The Walking Dead Season 7: 9 Major Predictions
3. Shiva Dies (And So Do Many Others)
Apart from Negan and discovering who died, what are you most looking forward to seeing in Season 7?
If the answer isn't Shiva, you haven't been paying attention. The pet tiger of King Ezekiel (leader of the Kingdom), Shiva will be fiercely loyal to her master, and even capable of tearing zombies apart without getting sick.
A mix of animatronics and CGI, what little we've seen of Shiva looks very impressive - but not necessarily the sort of things they'll be looking to keep up for multiple seasons. Sure, Shiva will be used sparingly anyway, but as Ezekiel becomes a bigger part of things it may be she's the year's most heartbreaking casualty (outside of the season premiere, anyway).
Death in general will once again play a big part in things. The show has a reputation for killing off anyone and everyone - though it hasn't been as keen on killing off its headliners in recent years, something the premiere needs to change - and there's plenty of cannon fodder likely to become walker feed.
Spencer, Olivia, Tara, Gabriel (to complete his 'arc' of becoming more heroic), Gregory over at the Hilltop - just a few of the names likely to be crossed off this year.
