The Walking Dead Season 7: Ranking The Probability Of 17 Major Character Deaths

TWD Season 7 Deaths

Khary Payton is the only one here not considered part of the 'starring' cast, but his status as leader of the Kingdom gets him on here via a technicality. That and the fact we should be seeing plenty more of King Ezekiel in the back-half of Season 7.

Rick and co will need to team up with the Kingdom in the fight against Negan, meaning Ezekiel should have lots more to do over the course of the next eight episodes.

It'd be remiss to kill him off now, because his death wouldn't really carry a lot of impact, and the war storyline should continue to play out in Season 8 (indeed, a lot of 7B may well be a prelude to this). That said, killing one of the leaders would be a big message from Negan, and Ezekiel is more disposable than, say, Rick or Maggie.

Chance Of Dying: 4/10
