'The Walking Dead' Postmortem: Even Greg Nicotero's Mom Doesn't Know Who Negan Killed https://www.yahoo.com/tv/the-walking-dead-season-6-finale-greg-nicotero-214138011.html
SPOILER ALERT: Storyline and character spoilers ahead for the “Last Day on Earth” episode of The Walking Dead.Don’t feel so bad that you’re still in the dark about the big casualty in Sunday’s Season 6 finale, little Walking Dead buckaroos… TWD executive producer and finale director Greg Nicotero won’t even share the victim’s identity with his mom. And, you know, he kinda owes her…“She pulled the mom card,” Nicotero tells Yahoo TV. “I got a phone call from my parents this morning, and my mom first of all insisted that I tell her who died. Second of all, she told me that she had nightmares all night about it, so… good, and I’m sorry, both at the same time.”Nicotero confirms he’ll be the director for the Season 7 premiere next fall, the episode that will answer that finale cliffhanger about whose head met Negan’s barbed wire-covered bat, Lucille. So, frustrated though many fans are about having to wait six months to find out which beloved member of Rick’s group was killed in the finale, Nicotero promises they won’t be disappointed in the direction the story takes next season.
