The Walking Dead season 8: Star accidentally posts SHOCK Rick spoiler in deleted photo
THE WALKING DEAD season eight filming is now well underway but while bosses are remaining tight-lipped about the action in store, one star of the zombie epic has accidentally let slip a huge spoiler.
The Walking Dead's Negan has a proposition for Sasha
Kingdom actor Daniel Newman shared a photo to his Instagram page yesterday, which has since been deleted, looking care-free alongside Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes and Hilltopper Jeremy Palko.
The picture shows all three men firmly inside the Saviors’ compound, but as Rick and his pack are yet to step foot in The Sanctuary, the snap appears to suggest that the looming war between the sparring leaders will take place in Negan’s home turf.
What’s more, fans have speculated that the explosive battle will follow the Robert Kirkman comics to a tee when Rick arrives at The Sanctuary ready for war, only to find that The Hilltop leader Gregory pipped him to the post.
Newman isn’t the only star of The Walking Dead to cause a meltdown on social media this month after Josh McDermitt was forced to quit all microblogging avenues after receiving angry death threats from fans.

Death threats, don't send me death threats
Despite his character Eugene going down a storm with devoted followers of The Walking Dead when he made his debut in season four, it seems some viewers have had a drastic change of heart since he seemingly switched to the Negan’s team.

Eugene star Josh McDermitt quit social media after The Walking Dead backlash
"You can hate Eugene, I don't care. I'll argue that you're wrong. You can think whatever you want but when you start saying I hope you die, I don't know if you're talking about Josh or Eugene.
"I gotta report that s**t, so just don't be an a**hole. And just stop complaining."
The Walking Dead is expected to return to AMC and FOX UK later this year.
