On a series as brutal as The Walking Dead , everyone's days are numbered. Here's a look at who might bite it next, from least likely to most.
Michonne
Chances of dying: 5 percent
Not going to happen. She can hold her own, and since Rick came so close to turning her over to The Governor, it's only fitting that she survives while he finally kicks it. Not to mention the fact that The Walking Dead has so few characters of color and strong women that killing Michonne would be a total embarrassment.

Carl
Chances of dying: 5 percent
As much as many of us would like to see Carl go, it's tough to imagine Rick ever recovering from that. He's been through way too much this season to survive another blow. And since The Walking Dead just killed a child last season, they probably won't do it again until at least Season 4. And it'll be Judith.

Tyreese
Chances of dying: 5 percent
See above re: embarrassing lack of characters of color. But more to the point, Tyreese has so much left to do — he's a fascinating figure in the comics, and whether or not the show writers are going to incorporate any of those storylines, he's still worth developing in the coming season.

Rick
Chances of dying: 10 percent
At some point, sure — The Walking Dead could definitely pull the rug from under us by killing off the ostensible lead. Right now, though, there's too much to be explored in terms of Rick's losing grip on sanity. His journey this season would feel like a waste if he died in the season finale.
