Weve heard some talk about the Harvest Festival this season.
Obviously, that plays a big role in the comic books.
That becomes a part of the story for the back half of the season.
We really dove into the idea of what this festival is in a real way for our people.
Its a place where people could learn new skills and pick up supplies that they needed.
Its also a chance for them to bond as different communities.
Thats a story that we see play out over the course of the back half.
Negan has wanted out of that cell.
He kind of got to a point where he was like, Just kill me.
He learns some pretty interesting things while hes out there.
