The Walking Dead Season 8: Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

18. King Ezekiel (And Shiva)

King Ezekiel was one of a few new faces for Season 7, and with his sense for the theatrical and pet tiger made a big impression. However, we've only really started scratching the surface of his character, and as one of the three main leaders of the rebellion he should be a bigger player in Season 8 and beyond that too.

Shiva, meanwhile, proved even more popular. Impressively created with CGI, her appearances were fleeting but nonetheless awesome. However, that CGI is likely costing a lot of money, and with Ezekiel more in the thick of action it's harder to justify her not being on screen - which means killing her off would make life a lot easier for the writers. It'd also be a sad moment for viewers, and give Ezekiel a big emotional scene to play with and drive him forward.

Prediction: Ezekiel - Lives; Shiva - Dies
