Even though we all were frustrated at the Season 7 finale of the Walking Dead, one thing needs to be said; Negan and his Saviors will be awesome villains for Season 7 and forward. With Jeffrey Dean Morgan delivering a mesmerizing performance in the finale, we all want to see more of the Saviors. Executive producer Greg Nicotero weighs in on the Saviors and their sadistic ways.

"The Saviors, as sadistic as they may appear, they have a system that works for them,” Nicotero tells EW. “Yeah, they’re f—ed up and they’re a little weird, but they’ve been doing this for a long time and they have a very large group. It’s not like it’s a pocket of 10 or 12 people. They have a good thing going and the most interesting thing about them for me is there’s mythos involved with them. It’s like, you hear about this guy Negan, just like you hear about this guy Rick, and you hear about these people. There’s a lot of that involved in Season 7.

"It’s the mystery and the word-of-mouth that has spread along the countryside about these people, because that’s just as much a character point as it is meeting these guys, is hearing about them,” Nicotero goes on. "Negan even says to Rick in the finale, ‘Oh, so you’re the guy that went out there, and you’re the guy that took out my guys, and you’re the guy that did this.’ So, Negan has heard of Rick. Rick has recently heard of Negan. So there’s a little sort of caste system of this castle over here and this castle over here and these guys have heard about them.” For more, head over here.
