On Sunday night, AMC’s The Walking Dead season 7 premiere episode arrives for viewers on television or to watch live streaming online. Many fans have been anticipating this latest installment of the hit series about zombies and those individuals trying to survive amongst them. With tonight’s big episode, many fans will be wondering not what time and channel to watch the show on, but they will also have their speculations about Negan and Ezekiel theories for the upcoming seventh season of the fictional series.

There may be some The Walking Dead spoilers for the latest season below, so those who want to be surprised, or are catching up to Season 6, be forewarned.

According to ABC News, the final episode of Season 6 left a major cliffhanger with viewers as Negan used his bat named “Lucille” to slaughter one of the characters. Fan speculation flew into overdrive about who it might be that Negan killed with the brutal barbwired weapon of destruction. While the television series has been known to stray off the path of the beloved comic book series, smart money as to who perishes goes with Glenn. He was the one Negan killed in similar scenes in the comics and it would make for a shocking start to the latest of The Walking Dead season.

If the televised version of this popular series does go a different way, that brings up two other potential victims. The first is Abraham, with the speculation that a character who is tall is the one Negan aimed at and hit with his devastating swing of the bat. The other potential “killed off” character would be Eugene, who also has some height to his stature. There were fans and speculators who believe Negan’s swing was aimed at the person standing all the way to the right of him and that would be Eugene if the shot showed things from that perspective.

While Negan’s murderous bat swing is on the minds of many fans waiting to see the premiere, there’s another character that many viewers will be talking about. Ezekiel or “King Ezekiel” is the newest addition to the show, played by actor Khary Payton. He’s played in a variety of roles prior to the zombie series including Teen Titans Go and General Hospital. Now he’ll take on the new role of Ezekiel, who has a tiger named Shiva alongside him. Heavy reported recently that it’s unknown if Negan and Ezekiel will cross paths, but they do remind fans that the two characters are in a close proximity which could bring something down the road for them.

Us Weekly mentions six major spoilers that fans may or may not want to check into. However, there’s still those viewers who love a great surprise and are looking to stay away from any The Walking Dead information ahead of the big premiere episode. With the show only hours away, there appears to be hope that even if someone saw a spoiler, it might not be “for real” due to a bit of trickery going on via the show’s set.

The good news around tonight’s show is the fact that the latest season’s premiere episode was carefully filmed. A report via TV Guide indicates that show creator Robert Kirkman employed “body doubles” on the set in an effort to prevent lurkers from figuring out potential spoilers. So spoiler reports that a certain character was seen doing this or that could merely have been someone seeing a body double fooling them. Regardless, fans will continue to scour the internet for their Walking Dead spoilers each and every week, although one of the best ways to get educated on what could be coming is to simply pick up the comic book series from around issue No. 100 up to the latest installment.

The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere will have a 9 p.m. Eastern Time start on AMC for television viewers. There are also a few ways to watch online via live stream. These include participating cable and satellite subscribers logging into the AMC website or any associated apps for AMC to watch the stream. In addition, there is the SlingTV service which continues to offer a seven-day free trial of the basic service. Their lowest tier channel package includes AMC which new subscribers can watch live online via their device of choice. Keep in mind the service will automatically renew at the end of the seven-day trial period.

The Walking Dead fans, are you ready for Sunday’s big premiere episode of the latest season? Who do you believe will be Negan’s victim when his bat strikes? Also, what are you looking forward to in the seventh season the most?
