Warning! There will be potential spoilers in this story for fans ofThe Walking Dead. That said, none of the rumored deaths are confirmed at this time and won’t be untilThe Walking Dead Season 7premieres this fall. Fans all know that one beloved member of the Alexandria family is going to get his or her head bashed in during the opening moments of the first Season 7 episode. Though the identity of the deceased has yet to be unveiled. Now comes another hint that one more individual is doomed. So, who is it?
It seems other studios issuing official press releases for upcoming movies and TV shows are dropping spoilers left and right. While it’s long been rumored that Glenn Rhee is the man at the end ofNegan’s death blows in the Season 7 finale, a PR for the movieOkjaalmost all but confirms this to be true. Glenn is Negan’s doomed victim in the originalWalking Deadcomic book upon which the show is based. Last week, it was widely announced thatSteven Yeun, who plays Glenn, had taken a key role inBong Joon Ho’s latest thriller. Problem, bothThe Walking DeadSeason 7 andOkjaare shooting roughly around the same time. So, does this confirm that Glenn is Negan’s victim? Many truly believe it does.
Now, on the heels of this PR comes an official casting announcement forShowtime’sTwin Peaksrevival. And who is listed? None other thanJosh McDermitt! He plays Eugene Porter on the fan-favorite AMC series. And this may provide asubstantial clueas to the actor’s forthcoming demise. Or maybe it doesn’t. Actors in the main cast ofThe Walking Dead, such asMcDermitt, are not allowed to have recurring roles on other shows. Which would immediately have one gasping. For this surely indicates Eugene might not be around much longer.
But not so fast!The Walking Deadcast is allowed to take on guest starring roles, cameos and bit performances during theirWalking Deadoff time. And there is no indication yet of how big or small a roleMcDermittactually plays onTwin Peaks. The cast list has over 200 actors on it. And it’s very possible thatJoshonly came in for a few days work. Also important to note,Twin Peakshas officially wrapped shooting.The Walking DeadSeason 7 hasn’t started shooting yet. Making it entirely possible for the actor to appear in both project.
Eugene is still alive in the Comic Books, butThe Walking DeadTV show is not above throwing a major curveball to keep audiences on their toes. Though, many speculate that Eugene is a little too important to the show’s evolution in Season 7. And many doubt he’s on Negan’s chopping block. Porter currently serves as Head of Herd-Duty and is also head of ammunitions production serving under Rick’s management. It sounds more and more likely that Glenn is a goner. But when it comes to Eugene, we’re not so sure his days a numbered quite yet. Yes,Josh McDermittis confirmed to be a part of the newTwin Peaksrevival crew. Let’s just pray that he’s a day player and not done with the walkers yet!
