It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of Negan in the seventh season of The Walking Dead, with AMC announcing that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been promoted to a series regular alongside Tom Payne (Jesus), Austin Amelio (Dwight) and Xander Berkeley (Gregory).
That takes the show’s roster of series regulars up to twenty, with those four joining Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Norman Reedus (Daryl), Steven Yeun (Glenn), Cohan, Chandler Riggs (Carl), Danai Gurira (Michonne), Melissa McBride (Carol), Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), Lennie James (Morgan), Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha), Alanna Masterson (Tara), Christian Serratos (Rosita), Josh McDermitt (Eugene), Seth Gilliam (Father Gabriel), Ross Marquand (Aaron), Austin Nichols (Spencer).
Of course, it’s likely we’ll be seeing goodbye to (at least) one of those in the season seven premiere…
