'The Walking Dead' Season 7 Spoilers, Latest News & Update: 'TWD' Creator Robert Kirkman Gets Death Threats? Negan Kill Causes Betrayal?

"The Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere with Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) causing loyalty changes among the Alexandria survivors marks an S7 of dark intensity. However, "The Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman has real life darkness of death threats to deal with as "TWD" progresses.

Entertainment Weekly cites Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon) in stating that "The Walking Dead" Season 7 marks a major "TWD" shift. For the surviving cast of "The Walking Dead" Season 7 Norman Reedus said the kill that Negan executes from "TWD" S6 finale will evoke varied response.

"Our whole world has been turned upside down, and that group of people have been fighting to have their feet firmly on the ground and have some sort of direction to live in and some sort of code to live by and moral compass, and they thought they were doing it okay, you know?" Norman Reedus said. As a result, Norman Reedus revealed that "The Walking Dead" Season 7 will see loyalties change among Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and remaining "TWD" survivors and something even worse will happen.

For now, Bustle reports that Glenn (Steven Yeun), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) top Negan's casualty candidates for "The Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere. Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) is also a Negan kill theory favorite to have pushed Rick Grimes and "TWD" survivors off the edge as Parent Herald reports.

Comicbook cites confirmation by Andrew Lincoln that Rick Grimes will shift from confidence to despair in "The Walking Dead" Season 7. According to Andrew Lincoln, the Rick Grimes that survives "The Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere will be very different from the confident leader of "TWD" S6 finale.

Comicbook further reports that despite the success of "The Walking Dead" comics and AMC's "TWD" series, creator Robert Kirkman gets plenty of grief from unappreciative audience. Robert Kirkman reveals that "The Walking Dead" creator, in fact, gets death threats.

At the moment, Robert Kirkman says that "The Walking Dead" creator takes these with a grain of salt although he can legitimately file a police report. The media outlet proposes that Robert Kirkman may receive a few more unsavory messages from fans after AMC airs "The Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere on October 23.
