The Walking Dead Season 8 Spoilers

The factions will get together, and there will likely be an all out war between them and Negan and his forces.

The Walking Dead Preview
Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl Grimes, said that “Season seven was all about building up and getting everybody ready to fight against Negan. And this season, there’s going to be lots of explosions, lots of killing, a lot more Negan.” There is also a strong possibility that Negan will finally get what he deserves. Though fans love to hate the baseball wielding villain and his evil cohorts, his death will be welcome. The official synopsis says that with everyone coming together to fight Negan, his and the Saviors’ grip might not be as tight as they think.
