Steven Yeun talks 'The Walking Dead' finale

LOS ANGELES — Actor Steven Yeun is aware of his character Glenn's fate in "The Walking Dead" comics, but he is playing the misdirection game in his latest interview with EW.

"I know people are going to always go, 'Negan kills Glenn in the comics,' but rest assured that we don't necessarily do what's in the comics," Yeun said. "There's a clear divide in the way we tell a story on television, and the way that story is told in the comics, because it has to be. And everybody will have to see what happens, but we definitely tell our story in the way that television should be told."

Yeun also addressed the differences between the comics and show, which may not bode well for fan favorite Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), if he indeed sacrifices himself in the television timeline to save Glenn's life.

"That's the beauty of the adaptation," Yeun continued. "There is something to be said about something being predictable. I'm sure there are iconic moments, but at the same time, we want to keep this show as fresh and alive as possible, and we're going to tell that story that exists for the world we've created. And it is inspired by the world Robert Kirkman has created, but it's also its own entity, to some degree. So, yeah. I mean, we'll see what happens."

While he's being very tight-lipped about the season finale, Yeun does promise it will not disappoint with its shock value.

"I mean, we go for it," says Yuen. "The thing that I can be most proud about on this show is that year after year we just continue to go for it. Whether we fail or whether we succeed, we just go for it. And things are tough. The conditions are tough. I would love for someone to come out and check out what a day of filming can be like. I could show you pictures that I took where you can see my entire leg all up the side completely covered in disgusting bruises. And that's not just me. That's everyone. Everyone has something happen every year. Yes, it's brutal what happens story-wise with all the things that we try to tell near the end. But it's also what we've always been going for."

The season six finale airs three weeks from Sunday.
