The Walking Dead season 7: Jeffrey Dean Morgan had ‘no idea’ who Negan was killing

VIEWERS were left speechless following the brutal season six finale of The Walking Dead which saw Negan bludgeon one of 11 characters to death
        
But Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays the super villain, has revealed he had no idea who he was killing off when he filmed the cliffhanger.

The actor said that while he was filmed waving his barbed wire baseball bat Lucille around, he had no idea who was on the receiving end.

"They did not tell me," he explained. "I don't know that anybody knew on that particular evening, and if they did, no one has copped to me.

"But I certainly didn't know. I've seen interviews where Norman Reedus has said, 'I know', but I honestly don't know that anybody really knew what was going to happen until the first script came out."

Jeffrey told Entertainment Weekly: "Maybe during the summer, people found out some stuff.

"I didn't find out who we were going to kill until I saw the first script coming back this year."

While fans will have to continue waiting until October to find out which character will not return, the 50-year-old said filming was "intense".

"It was heavy when we shot it last year and it's only gotten more intense this year, I think," he continued.

"And that ending — or this beginning, I should say — is jarring. It's a reset on The Walking Dead world and it's f***ing Negan's world now, you know? It's a lot."
