A major villain who caused a huge character's death in the comics could be making a possible appearance on season 6 of The Walking Dead.

Could Tara Die In Season 6?

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Scott Gimple alluded to the fact that Negan-who plays a pivotal role in the death of a fan favorite member of Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group in the comics-could show up near the end of the season.

"It's absolutely a possibility," Gimple said. "And when I say it' s a possibility, we have a plan in place, but there's a couple variables for that plan that we're deciding about. It really depends on a few factors as we move into setting up the last bit of the season story-wise."

Robert Kirkman also spoke out about the possibility of bringing both Began and his partner in crime, Jesus, to the small screen in the new season, and said that it all depends on making sure their introduction can meet fan expectations.

"When it comes to characters like The Governor, Michonne, Abraham, and others like Jesus and Negan who are fan-favorite characters in the comics, it's always a challenge to get it right because it's those characters-much like Rick Grimes in the beginning-that fans already have a sense of and expectations for," he said. "So we're always careful, and I feel like we've done a really good job servicing those fan expectations. Hopefully that trend will continue...if the characters...are to appear soon."
