A massive load of spoilerific information about the next season of Game of Thrones has landed on Reddit, and if you’re keen on ruining the biggest plot points ahead of time, we have you covered.
It should be noted up-front that the list of information is largely speculative – but reports from Watchers On The Wall (the go-to source for all things GoT) indicate that some of the info from the dump is pretty much sort of maybe mostly somewhat accurate.
This is your last chance to turn back – MAJOR SPOILERS FOLLOW.
It seems that season 7 of Game of Thrones will focus primarily on Jon Snow and Daenerys teaming up to take on the Lannisters at Kings Landing.
There’s a failed siege, the looming threat of the White Walkers to the North – and more sexy times and plot twist betrayals, which has become par for the course.
Specifically, the season will finally reveal Jon Snow’s real name (it’s apparently Aegon), and that he’s the true king and heir to the iron throne. But we knew that, right?
Oh, and he and Dany have a shag while the Wall comes crashing down.
Here are the major highlights from the info dump:
- Jon and Dany team up to take on Cersei in Kings Landing. This will play out in a siege of some kind, which ultimately fails. Jon and Daenerys grow to like each other. A lot.
- Sam and Bran find out that Jon is the true king and heir to the Iron Throne. Jon doesn’t find this out yet, though. That makes Jon and Dany sort of related (this is going to get awkward).
- At one point near the end of the season, Jon will drag a White Walker to Kings Landing (during some or other truce) to prove that they are real – this pushes Cersei into action, rallying troops to defend the wall.
- Jokes – Cersei betrays everyone and sends no help, angering Jaime, who runs off to help instead. Cersei is also pregnant again, because why stop at three children of incest.
- Near the end of the season, the Wall will come crashing down – while Jon and Dany make the beast with two backs. Probably unrelated.
- Oh and the Night King will apparently kill one of Dany’s dragons and resurrect it as a kick-ass White Walker zombie-dragon.
Meanwhile, other characters will also have some “fun”.
- Sansa will catch on to LittleFinger’s manipulative ways and will, well, give him the finger.
- Arya will give LittleFinger a little bit more than a finger – specifically some sort of sharp object that will end his life.
- Actually Arya will become a mean killing machine, and will spend the first few episodes hunting down everyone who hurt her family.
- Bran will reunite with his family.
- Theon will drop his sister like a rock and also meet back up with the Starks.
- Tyrion is still there, and still awesome.
- Turns out Varys is a good guy.
- Jorah will find a cure to his little greyscale problem.
There you have it. We told you it would be full of spoilers.
As stated previously, none of this is hard fact until it actually happens on screen, but on-set sightings and reports show that there is at least a smidge of truth here.
Game of Thrones is currently filming, and is expected to air in mid-2017, with only 7 episodes this season. Season 8 will follow, concluding the entire series with a 6-episode season.
