Fans were left devastated when Glenn Rhee (played by Steven Yeun) and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) were brutally killed off in the season seven premiere, followed by the deaths of Spencer Monroe (Austin Nichols) and Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Greene).
And now, Chandler Riggs, who stars as Carl Grimes, has warned viewers to expect more major deaths when the show returns.
"Season seven was all about building up and getting everybody ready to fight against Negan," he divulged to Triple J.
"And this season, there's going to be lots of explosions, lots of killing, a lot more Negan.

"Yeah, lots of fighting. Lots of cool stuff. It's really, really fun this season."
The actor's comments come not long after Steven Ogg, who plays one of Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) servants Simon, promised people will die.
"Yeah, I mean, s**t, it's like whenever people say, 'Are you going to die? Or do you know yet?'" he said to ComicBook.com.
"Yeah, everyone's going to die at some point right? They all die. Let's thin the herd man. Let's thin the herd."

"We have basically set the stage for All Out War. Negan's said it, everybody has seen they're in it."
