"The Walking Dead" season 8 will see Rick finally wage war against Negan. The photo had many believing that the Alexandrian leader, with his people, Hilltop and The Kingdom, charged into the Saviors' sanctuary to take the fight there.
This also suggests that the series will follow the comic book source material by Robert Kirkman in what will follow. Fans of the comic books would know where this leads to.
Viewers will remember in the previous season of "The Walking Dead" that Gregory (Xander Berkeley) took off and was asked to be taken somewhere.
In the comics, he shows up at Negan's gate asking his people to leave Rick's group. This leads to an epic showdown between many of the main characters. From the looks of it, "The Walking Dead" season 8 will bring that scene to life.
Additionally, Berkeley has recently been promoted series regular for the new season along with Tom Payne (Jesus), Austin Amelio (Dwight) and Morgan himself.
That being said, fans will definitely be seeing more of Gregory in "The Walking Dead" season 8 as he builds himself up to be another hindrance in Rick's war against the Saviors.
