Here’s why his character had to die. There was a reason why Glenn (Steven Yeun) had to die in The Walking Dead season 7. Fans were concerned that Glenn would be killed because the same fate had befallen him in the comics. In The Walking Dead #100, Negan and the Saviors had Rick and his allies at his mercy.
His famous dumpster dive in season 6 episode 3, “Thank You,” was a reminder to fans that until you see a body, no one is really dead. But death did come for Glenn, and his lifeless body is something fans will remember. When did Glenn die on The Walking Dead?
Nicholas leaves Glenn to die, and begins his injured walk back to Alexandria. After nightfall, a still alive Glenn attacks Nicholas again and breaks the latter’s ankle. Glenn then punishes Nicholas for getting Noah killed by beating him down. Glenn nearly breaks Nicholas’ jaw before he decides to just kill him.
Abraham’s grisly murder caused Daryl (Norman Reedus) to retaliate in anger; Daryl’s outburst irritated Negan, who decided that one death wasn’t enough to make his point. And as punishment, Negan executed Glenn as well. The Walking Dead added a twist on this scene from the comics by killing Abraham and Glenn, but why was this necessary?
What season does Glenn die in?
Glenn’s death came in the season 7 premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.” The group was en route to Hilltop to get help for Maggie (Lauren Cohan) when they were intercepted by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors.
The Walking Dead is known for delivering some of the most heartbreaking moments on television, usually at the hands of the undead or unspeakable tragedy and violence.
What happened to Glenn in The Walking Dead?
Glenn was forced to stop along with the others when Dale Horvath ‘s RV breaks down. He is then later seen fixing an old truck, and Shane Walsh finds water nearby. When a herd of zombies come their way, he hides under a car with Shane. Sophia Peletier then gets chased by a duo of zombies and the group looks for, but she is not found by the end of the episode.
Glenn appears talking to Hershel about how the infection is spreading and that there is no stopping it. Sasha Williams walks out infected with the virus. Glenn later appears having come down with the infection and is taken to Cell Block A. it is possible that he may have got the flu off an undead Patrick who attacked him as no-one else is. Rick, Daryl etc weren’t even touched by a sick walker. Later after tending to Dr. Caleb Subramanian, Hershel tends to Glenn and encourages Glenn to fight through the infection.
The others being Shane Walsh, Dale Horvath, Carol Peletier, Tyreese Williams, Eric Raleigh, Negan Smith, and Lucille Smith. Glenn has been captured four times. He is in a two-way tie with Daryl for being captured the second most amount of times, only second to Eugene who has been captured five times.
Glenn proposes that the prison survivors defend themselves from The Governor by attacking Woodbury immediately, and inquires to Michonne about the town. Hershel, however, remarks that Glenn’s decision to take over the leadership from Rick may be unwise at the time, due to Maggie still recovering from her and Glenn’s detention and torture in Woodbury. He advises Glenn to comfort Maggie but Glenn first decides to search for the origin of the walkers with assistance from Carl. Glenn obliges to Hershel’s request after completing this task. Upon talking to Maggie, he asks her why she is acting depressed, and she responds with explaining the abuse she endured from The Governor. He then asks her if she was raped, to which she responds with a “no,” which relieves Glenn, but annoys Maggie. After searching “The Tombs” of The Prison, he ventures outside to search for the breach in the building. He drives off, only to return again during The Governor’s attack, just in time to rescue Hershel and Michonne.
Glenn breaks off a shard of bone from the walker’s forearm and hands it to Maggie. Glenn and Maggie ambush Merle and Warren successfully when they arrive to take them to the “screamer pits”, but they are restrained when Martinez approaches and holds them at gunpoint. While being escorted away a second time, Rick’s group arrives and uses a flash grenade, allowing them to rescue Glenn and Maggie. Glenn informs Daryl that Merle was the one responsible for torturing him, and Glenn takes part in the Woodbury shoot-out, despite being badly injured. Glenn also trains his gun on Michonne, along with Rick and Maggie, when she rejoins them outside of Woodbury following the shoot-out.
Glenn and Abraham were very good friends, but were not always so. Glenn and Abraham started out pretty badly when Abraham was telling Glenn that Maggie was dead and that he should “do something with his life”. This results in a fight, the noise from which attracts a horde of walkers. Due to Eugene accidentally shooting their truck’s gas tank full of holes, rendering it useless, he, along with Eugene and Rosita, decided to follow Glenn and Tara to look for Maggie. During a conversation with Tara, Abraham reveals he has respect for Glenn, but believes saving the world is more important. Later, when Glenn apologizes for hitting him, Abraham jokingly tells Glenn that he isn’t sorry for fighting Glenn due to his love for combat. Abraham ultimately forgives him. During season five, it is seen that their friendship is much stronger than before and Glenn is one of the few people actually knows how to calm him down and make him see reason. The two gradually became brothers-in-arms and often had each others backs. Abraham admired Glenn’s bravery and vision greatly, and looked up to Glenn’s positive outlook on life and starting a family with Maggie, prompting him to seek out a romance with Sasha. Glenn was devastated to see Abraham killed by Negan but had little time to mourn him as he soon shared the same fate as his fellow companion. As respect to their friendship they were also buried together at Hilltop.

Glenn wakes up on the back of the army truck and asks Tara if they passed the bus to prison. Tara tells him that it’s been three hours since they passed, but she has driven down all the streets and that everyone on the bus is dead. Glenn wants to go back and look for Maggie, furiously banging on the back window of the truck with his automatic firearm, breaking it and causing its driver, Abraham Ford, to stop the truck. Glenn tries to leave, but Abraham tells him that he is causing disruptions to ‘The Mission.’ After Glenn inquires about the mission, Abraham reveals that his companion Eugene Porter knows exactly what caused the beginning of the apocalypse, and that government officials are to meet with him in Washington.
What did Nicholas suggest to Glenn?
Nicholas suggested that a nearby feed store should go up in flames pretty easily and offered to draw a map to it if Glenn would prefer he not go along. But Glenn — fully committed to Nicholas’ redemption — invited him to lead the way.
Upon reaching the site where Aiden and Nicholas’ ineptitude and cowardice had cost their crew their lives, Heath questioned th
e surviving member of the run. Clearly haunted by his past actions — especially there, of all places — Nicholas made it clear that the victims hadn’t been afraid, he and Aiden had been.
