AMC has released a new featurette, A Look at the Final Episodes of Season 6: The Walking Dead, in which the cast of the hit series tell fans what they can expect from the second half of the season. The first cast member to speak is Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon. As he speaks you can tell that something is weighing heavily on his mind about the upcoming episodes.
“There’s some large things that happen to us in the back half. We don’t all survive and we don’t all take it very well,” Reedus stated.
Andrew Lincoln who stars as Rick, the leader of the group, commented on the arrival of Negan, the major villain from the comic. Negan will played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who you may recognize for his role as John Winchester, Sam and Dean’s father, in the series Supernatural.
“The Governor was magnificent and David did a beautiful job playing him. But Negan is horrific. He is this incredible tyrant and this very charismatic, funny, brutal beyond words sociopath. I’m interested in the relationship between Negan and Carl and Carl and Rick. There’s a very complicated, extraordinary psychology between those characters. I’m just thrilled that we are getting to a place where it feels very deep, dark, thrilling and dangerous,” Lincoln told TV Insider.
The second half of the season 6 premieres on AMC February 14th.
