 will return for Season 7 in mid-October and when it makes its way back to the AMC airwaves things are not the most pleasant for many of the key paticipants. 

Knelt on the ground and facing the wrath of Lucille, Norman Reedus says that the prospects for survival are not looking good for the group. 

"It looks really bad," he said. "It looks like they are about to have a complete change of lifestyle."

Through six seasons fans have grown to love oft-loner character of Daryl Dixon. He has gone from an outcast in the group to a key leader that has worked into a conscience, of sorts, for morality -- weighing what is right and wrong laregly without the emotional ties. 

While everyone associated with the show has been nearly silent on who will be taking the brunt of Negan\'s bat, few have postulated that Daryl would be the victim in the season premiere. 

Assuming he stays alive, Reedus\' character will be part of a massive shift for the show. 

"We know Negan has people," he said. "But we don’t know the expanse of his tyranny."

The reign of Negan already began with his 12-minutes of screen time in Season 6. How villainous it becomes is still to be determined. 

The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres Oct. 23 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC. Below is a brief synopsis. 

Up until this point, our characters have lived through conflicts... Disease, hunger, scores of the undead, tragedy, betrayal, and unthinkable loss. Through this, they\'ve become formidable. Powerful. Unstoppable.

To start Season Seven, that power is taken away. They had found safety and stability. They had created a home. They thought the world was theirs. They thought they knew the world. They were wrong. 

The first half of Season Seven sees our group fractured, broken, bereaved, and picking up the pieces while living under the thumb of oppression. Negan will have successfully brought the survivors under his control, brutally convincing them to live under his rules with a deadly and horrific example of what happens if they don’t.

Other characters are unaware of what’s happened, but have become separated from the group either by incident or choice -- they will learn that they can’t escape this new turn of their world, either. This half season is about these characters starting over.

The overall theme of the season is beginning again. The world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s bigger and it’s even more dangerous.
