“The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be” is best known as the The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere, which first aired in 2016 and featured the brutal deaths of Abraham and Glenn. The most recent chatter I found is mostly fan discussion and reposts, not major new official news, with people still debating the episode’s title and its significance in the series.[3][5][9]
What’s recent
- A 2026 fan discussion revisited Jenner’s line and the episode title’s meaning.[5]
- A late-2025 social post also referenced the title as a memorable callback from the series.[2]
- No new production, reboot, or sequel announcement showed up in the results I found.[9][3]
What it is
- It is the first episode of Season 7 of The Walking Dead.[3]
- It originally aired on October 23, 2016.[1][3]
- The title comes from Dr. Edwin Jenner’s warning to Rick in the Season 1 finale.[1][3]
