So will that act of selfless bravery earn Negan his freedom in season 10?

ShowrunnerAngela Kangseems to hint to EW that it will.

So were dealing with the next stage of what things are for Negan.

Of course, that doesnt mean that Negan has done a complete do-gooder 180.

Negans story is one of my personal favorites in this season, notes Kang.

Things get complicated, because its Negan.

Hes not the hero.

Hes, at best, an antihero, but theres definitely darkness and an edge to him.

Let the explosions begin.
