• Warning: There are spoilers ahead for AMC's "The Walking Dead."
• "TWD's" season nine mid-season premiere showed Negan escape Alexandria and go on a journey back to his old home. 
• It appeared to be a journey of self-reflection as the character stopped by the same location where he killed both Abraham and Glenn on the show's seventh season premiere before, ultimately, heading back to Alexandria. 
• Is Negan finally getting a redemption arc? And furthermore, does he deserve one? INSIDER spoke with showrunner Angela Kang and executive producer Greg Nicotero about Negan's storyline on "TWD" and where he's heading for the rest of the season.
