Spoiler alert! Those who aren’t caught up on season 6 or season 7 rumors continue at your own risk!
For more than six months, fans have been agonizing and theorizing over which cast member will meet his (or her) end on the seventh season premiere of AMC’s The Walking Dead. We discussed the topic back in March just prior to the frustrating season six cliffhanger episode.
But much has changed since then, and many new theories and clues, whether legitimate or intentionally attention-diverting, have arisen in the lead-up to the premiere that may have you questioning your original choice. One thing that has been confirmed: it definitely isn’t Rick (Andrew Lincoln), as the latest teaser shows Negan taunting him immediately following the kill, fresh blood, presumably from the victim, visibly streamed across Rick’s cheek. But the other 10 are still fair game.
For the record, this writer thinks the victim will be Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), followed by Glenn (Steven Yuen.) Yes, two people will meet their end, a theory that has been posited by other sources as well. Most recently, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan, essentially confirmed there would be multiple victims at the hands of Lucille, though he didn’t clarify who. Abraham and Glenn both work as logical and expected choices, and either as a second kill would maintain the element of surprise the show thrives upon.
But that’s only a theory. There are still eight others who’s heads are literally on the chopping block. Find out why (or why not) each is likely to be the one to come face-to-face with Negan’s bat Lucille. Who do you think will be the victim(s)?
The season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead airs on AMC Sunday, October 23 at 9 p.m. ET. A week prior, on Sunday, October 16 from 9-11 p.m., AMC will air a two-hour retrospective on the show.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
