‘The Walking Dead’ teases Negan’s debut

Midseason trailer shows Maggie’s anguish, blood-cloaked Grimes

Is it possible to live within the walls of Alexandria? That question is up for debate in the teaser for the midseason return of The Walking Dead, reports Variety.

The nearly 30-second glimpse at the second half of the apocalyptic drama’s sixth season shows Lauren Cohan’s Maggie seemingly in peril (perhaps in relation to the sight of Steven Yeun’s Glenn taking a gun to a zombie’s temple) and Andrew Lincoln’s blood-cloaked Rick Grimes. Although he’s still alluded to via scenes from the sneak peek that was released earlier this year, the teaser shows no sign of Negan, the new character played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.



“Negan is the leader of the Saviours. He’s the new biggest threat, possibly the biggest ever threat that’s ever been introduced in The Walking Dead,” executive producer Robert Kirkman said after the midseason finale. “We’ve announced that Morgan is playing him, and he’s an absolutely amazing actor. He checks every box needed for Negan, which is he’s very personable. You like this guy. He’s very funny. But he’s also extremely intimidating. Negan himself is a catalyst who fundamentally changes what we’re doing with The Walking Dead and how these characters exist and really messes a lot of things up for Rick in a lot of terrifying ways.” The Walking Dead will return to the screens on February 14.
