The seventh season of The Walking Dead, an American horror-drama television series on AMC, premiered on October 23, 2016, and will consist of 16 episodes that are split into two eight-episode parts, with the second half debuting on February 12, 2017. Developed for television by Frank Darabont, the series is based on the eponymous series of comic books by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. The executive producers are Kirkman, David Alpert, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse, and Gale Anne Hurd, with Gimple as showrunner for the fourth consecutive season.
This season adapts material from issue #100–114 of the comic and introduces notable comic character King Ezekiel and his pet Bengal tiger Shiva, and new communities The Kingdom, Sanctuary, and Oceanside. The first half of the season focuses on Rick and his group under Negan's rule and their struggle to obey his orders and the second half focuses on the rebellion against Negan's utopia and uniting with like minded communities.
The Walking Dead was renewed by AMC for a 16-episode seventh season on October 30, 2015. Filming for season 7 began in Georgia, on May 2, 2016 and concluded on November 18, 2016.

The seventh season has featured several extended episodes, running longer than its usual 43-minute running time (without commercials). Extended episodes have ranged from 46 to 62 minutes in length.
