Given that the characters on the show and the audience are still mourning Glenn’s death, and Herschel is effectively Glenn’s pint-sized avatar, I cannot imagine taking Maggie’s last bit of her husband away from her. However, Maggie’s miniseries has her and Negan traveling to Manhattan for some unknown reason. She could be bringing Herschel with her, but kids can be a narrative handicap; see how little time the two have shared onscreen together in TWD. But does it make narrative sense for Maggie to leave her son behind? My gut says he lives, but I wouldn’t necessarily place money on it.
