Warning: spoilers ahead!
After The Walking Dead's intense midseason finale, which included a collapsed watchtower and a thousands-strong zombie horde, a post-credit scene was shown that introduced the season's next Big Bad: Negan.
Fans of The Walking Dead comic book will delight at the mere mention of Negan, one of the series' major villains. In the comic, the character is the leader of the Saviors, a motorcycle-riding group that will pose a potentially lethal threat to the people of Alexandria.
"The Saviors don't have the W's, the Wolves do," said The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman on AMC's Talking Dead episode follow-up to the midseason finale. "They're also threats. Equal threats, possibly. Very distinct, very different. We'll be finding out a lot more about the Saviors, Negan's group, soon."
While Negan, who will be played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, was "introduced" in this post-credit scene, he wasn't exactly there in the flesh — only by the mention of his name. If anything, we now know this: "Your property now belongs to Negan."
The Walking Dead returns to AMC in February 2016.
