The episode fans have been waiting years for is finally upon us.The Walking Deadcloses outSeason 6on Sunday, April 3 with thefinale,Last Day on Earth, which will introduce fans to the iconic villain Negan, played byJeffrey Dean Morgan, who will be a series regular inSeason 7. Today we have two new previews from the season finale, one of which teases the arrival of Negan and his baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, dubbed Lucille.
Interestingly enough, it seems the network has changed the title of next week’s episode from Something to Fear toLast Day on Earth, although we’re not quite sure why. The episode was entitled Something to Fear earlier this month when the network releasedplot synopsesfor the final three episodes, and the title surely made sense because it’s taken directly from the title of the six-issuecomicsvolume, which spans issues 97 through 102. Negan is introduced in the 100th issue, where he takes Rick and company by surprise, choosing a random person to kill from the group, Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun).
It hasn’t been confirmed whether or notGlennwill die in the season finale, butSteven Yeunhas teased that Negan’s introduction isn’t exactly the same as it is in the comics. In last week’sTwice as Far, the show deviated heavily from the comics, by taking an iconic scene where Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) is killed, and swapping his death for the Alexandrian doctor, Denise Cloyd (Merritt Wever). While this shows that the series is willing to change things up from the comics, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Glenn will survive.
We also have a clip from the finale featuringMorgan(Lennie James) coming across a stray horse. In last night’s episode,East, both Morgan and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) came across a new, unnamed character who was trying to find his horse, and it seems that Morgan has found this animal. However, this sneak peek also features the unnamed Savior fromEast, who was last seen clutching Carol’s (Melissa Suzanne McBride) rosary and going after both Rick and Morgan.
If that wasn’t enough, we also have two photos fromLast Day on Earthand eight photos from last night’s East, along with the most talked about scene from last night’s episode. Who do you think will survive after Negan finally shows his face onThe Walking Dead? Chime in with your thoughts after checking out these videos and photos from next week’s season finale.
