KEY POINTS

"The Walking Dead" Season 10, episode 16 will air this year
It may have a flashback about Negan
The finale will be "epic"

“The Walking Dead” Season 10, episode 16 is heading for a grand ending with a battle against Beta (Ryan Hurst) and his zombie herd. One character who may play a big part in the upcoming battle is Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a character whose past is yet to be fully explored.

Negan has become one of the most infamous characters on the show ever since his dramatic introduction. The character’s entry has had a lasting impact on the story and he will continue to play a big part on the show as he makes new friends and evolves. One technique the show has constantly used to explore a character’s journey has been flashbacks, and although the fans know a lot about Negan’s past, there is still much that is unknown about him.

One scene on the show that appears to have setup an eventual flashback happened when Negan escaped from his jail in Alexandria and went to his previous home at the Sanctuary. There, he met an old friend he referred to as “Big Richie,” but that character hadn’t appeared on the show before.

As Negan takes on a bigger challenge in “The Walking Dead” Season 10, episode 16, will the fans finally find out who Big Richie is? According to Screen Rant, the zombie character was played by stuntman Alex Hill.

Filming of the finale episode has been completed, but the postproduction process is still incomplete. Morgan told Entertainment Weekly that he expects the work to be completed soon and the fans may get to see it in four or five months. The actor teased that this will be a “big massive episode.”

AMC has announced that the finale episode will air as a “special” later this year. The lockdown because of the pandemic made it “impossible” for the producers to complete the episode. The studio also announced at the time that it was making the first 8 episodes of Season 10 available on its official website and app for free until May 1.

The exact release date of “The Walking Dead” Season 10, episode 16 may be announced once the postproduction work resumes.
