The Walking Dead Season 7 officially begins filming on May 2. Last year, we saw a lot of leaked set photos, including the image of Glenn with Jesus that had fans relieved after the dumpster disaster. That said, don’t be shocked if Glenn is missing from set photos.

[Warning: The Walking Dead comic spoilers ahead]

In the comics, Negan kills Glenn in front of Rick, Michonne, Maggie, Heath, Carl and Sophia. Maggie and Sophia permanently move to the Hilltop community, where she gives birth to her son Herschel. However, the show could decide to go on a completely different route than the comics using Maggie as a distraction.

It’s unlikely the show will kill off Maggie, but they can swap Glenn’s iconic death scene with another character, using her pregnancy as a fakeout. Let me explain. If Maggie and Glenn are absent from set photos, it could mean they’re filming in a different location. It wouldn’t make sense for a pregnant Maggie to stay in Alexandria, so whether Glenn lives or dies she’ll likely stay in Hilltop, where they have access to a doctor and medical equipment.

Another important point is that Maggie is missing during the first part of the All Out War storyline in the comics due to her pregnancy. It’s about eight issues or so before we see Maggie again. By the time we do see Maggie, she’s already given birth to Herschel. The comic used her pregnancy as a way to show how much time has passed under Negan’s reign of terror. There’s a possibility even if Maggie and Glenn survive, we won’t see a lot of them until the show prepares for the fight against Negan.

Long story short, don’t assume Glenn died during The Walking Dead Season 6 finale. Negan could’ve killed Eugene, Abraham, Rosita, Sasha or Daryl. Who do you think died in The Walking Dead Season 6 finale? Let us know in the comments section below.
