VIDEO : 'The Walking Dead' Has Plans to Tell Negan's Backstory

AMC's "The Walking Dead" has never had a shortage of villains - but it's latest is somewhat of a mystery. But that could soon change according to showrunner Scott Gimple. When asked by Yahoo TV if fans can expect a storyline on Negan's rise to power Gimple said "I do believe yes, it?s in the future...there?s a loose plan in place I have." The story will have to be told through flashbacks, something the show has used in the past. The 8th season of the popular TV show is set to premiere on October 22 and will mark the 100th episode for the series overall.
