The hot week of The Walking Dead news and reveals continues. Prior to the release of the season 7 trailer coming Friday, AMC has shared new images of every potential victim of Negan's brutal baseball bat beatdown on their Twitter account.

The Walking Dead season 7 promises to be intense and the show's executive producer promises tears and intensity for fans.

"Listen, it was the hardest two weeks of my life," Nicotero says of directing the season 7 premiere. "You take these actors and you drag them. You illicit the deepest, darkest fears that they've ever had because our actors, they're f---ing in it. So, you spend two weeks taking them to this place and it's horrific. You do it, over and over again for nine days and when it's over, you feel like you've just witnessed the most emotional things that they could drench up. They did it. And then I ask them to do it again and then again and then we're gonna change angle and do it again."

In summary, Nicotero says the season 7 premiere is "pretty amazing," but warns, "People cry which makes me happy and sad at the exact same time."
