"The Walking Dead": New season 7 clip questions Daryl Dixon's fate

A new sneak peek for "The Walking Dead" season seven  questions the fate of Daryl Dixon.

AMC earlier premiered the first "The Walking Dead" season seven trailer at the San Diego Comic-Con, introducing the character Ezekiel.

The 16th episode of "The Walking Dead‘s"  sixth season, “Last Day on Earth,” aired on Sunday, April 3, 2016,  and came with an unexpected cliffhanger.

Its season six finale episode which offered viewers their first look at Negan and his infamous Lucille, ended with Negan playing a game to decide who would be the first to meet Lucille.

As he made his decision, the camera angle switched to the position of his victim, leaving viewers to wonder who was on the receiving end as the scene faded out.

The season ended without revealing the identity of Negan's victim, leaving fans angry, shocked and disappointed.

Following the cliffhanger, angry fans started a change.org petition aimed at convincing AMC to reveal which of their favourite cast met his or her end.
