Game of Thrones spoiler report: Daenerys in season 7 

returning to Belfast for season 7, and soon we’ll have a host of new locations to keep an eye on. Already there’s activity going on in Northern Ireland, as production prepares for filming of the new season. IrishThrones reports that activity has been spotted out in Corbet, the village that hosted shooting last fall particularly for the siege of Riverrun storyline.

A bit of work going at Corbet Banbridge, in Ireland this wk. Inside Riverrun courtyard, not specifically the Castle front (it's still there)

It’s unlikely filming has begun so this is probably crews working on sets for season 7. IrishThrones says the work is happening in the Riverrun courtyard built there, not around the castle façade.

In other filming news, we’ve heard some exciting information from one of our trusted sources. We’ll tuck this below the cut for MAJOR SPOILER reasons!

Sources tell us that we can look forward to seeing Daenerys at the Dragonpit in season 7.

books, the Dragonpit is a massive old building on a hill in King’s Landing. Years before the story as we know it begins, the Dragonpit was used to house the dragons of the Targaryens. Ultimately it was destroyed, with only the ruins remaining.

After seeing some of the new Spain locations for season 7, we speculated

might be using one for a dragonpit. There is no word yet if that site, the Roman ruins called Italica found in Santiponce, Seville, is the place where the Dragonpit will be filmed.

Besides the fact that we’ll be seeing another intriguing site, the larger takeaway from this news is that based on the Dragonpit’s established location and what our source told us, we can confirm Daenerys will be arriving in King’s Landing in season 7.

What comes next, well that we don’t know yet. But I don’t imagine Queen Cersei will be thrilled to find a Targaryen outside her doors…if Cersei still has her crown by this point.

Cersei being on the throne really doesnt jive with me. It should be Aegon. More conflict from Dany within with Aegon being family. Cersei is just a villain. Besides, Cersei we suspect will flee to Casterly Rock after burning down KL when Aegon invades. Who will go to Casterly rock now in the show? i guess we just wont see it?

Yessss!!! Dany and her dragons in King’s Landing! You’re reign of terror is over, Cersei Lannister. Can not wait!!

Heck, Cersei may not have her head at that point ….

I’m not sure why I’m so excited. Given her visions in the HotU, there wasn’t much of a question in my mind she would make it to King’s Landing. I suppose I’m just so happy to have her out of Mereen, confirmation she will make it to Westeros this season makes me very, very happy.

Seriously now, thank you Sue and everyone else for creating this wonderful community and for making the wait for S7 more bearable.

Agree. Total nothingburger. The only interesting part of his story was Jon Connington anyway.

Cersei will still be there because she has to meet up again with Tyrion. Cersei is the big villain in his story so they need to deal with that before whatever happens with the Others…happens.

I bet we will see the Bran vision this season with the dragon flying over.This is exiting I wonder when Cersei will die.I think in the season finale but realistically story wise it could happen earlier than that

People complain about the long wait between seasons, but it seems to me like we don’t ever really have that much of a dry period without casting news, location rumors and other stuff to discuss. Kudos to WotW for keeping the good stuff coming all year ’round!

YES! I was thinking about this today. Where the hell Dany is gonna put her dragons when she reaches KG? Nice knowing they’ll have the dragon pit from the books.

I’m still wondering about Dany’s vision of the iron throne in the HotU, though. Sure, Cersei is a goner, but i’m worried at the horrible things she’s gonna do before Dany gets rid of her.

We expected this to happen. However, I’m curious if Cersei is still alive at this point. Maybe she burns the Red Keep and runs away to Casterly Rock. Dramaaaa.

I wonder if the dragonpit is visible in any of the KL shots we’ve seen so far? Will be interesting to see how it looks in S7. Now I gotta decide whether I wanna stay around here and spoil myself or wait to be blown away with no spoilers. Dilemma 😬😬😬

This sounds like it’ll be episode 7 the finale.

Also, isn’t Irish Thrones the one who reported LSH would be marching with an army last season?

I’m intrigued by the filming in Riverrun. Who could be involved?

IrishThrones has been way off with plot spoilers but solid on location and set information.

Ohh boyyy. I’m looking forward to seeing it this season! This wait is much better because there’s no massive cliffhanger like in Season 5.

“Welcome home my Queen” Really excited for next season!

HotPinkLipstick: IrishThrones has been way off with plot spoilers but solid on location and set information.

Basically this. They were led astray by people feeding them rumors, but when it comes to actual location information, they’re usually pretty good, since they’re local.

Ha! I could feel that structure was for a dragonpit! Can’t wait to see Cersei’s face when Tyrion arrives with Dany!!

Seems wicnet doesn’t even do effort anymore to create their own news. They pretty much copy pasta’d this post and worded it slightly different.

We expected this to happen. However, I’m curious if Cersei is still alive at this point. Maybe she burns the Red Keep and runs away to Casterly Rock. Dramaaaa.

I hope Cersei doesn’t make it out of King’s Landing, whether because of Jaime or Dany or Tyrion. I don’t see the point in having her flee to Casterly Rock. After Dany takes over, what purpose does Cersie serve? The only reason I can think of allowing her to flee is because D&D are loath to let Lena Heady go.

I really want Cersei, Tyrion and Dany to have a face to face. I also want Cersei to see the Others descending on Kings Landing. Grumpkins and Snarks indeed!

There is a shot – part of which appears in Bran’s vision – of a dragon shadow flying over KL. The shadow seem to move from the Gate of the Gods toward the Red Keep. There’s more of that shot in one of the documentaries HBO released.

I was fully expecting this so not a major spoiler for me but hopefully there is nothing much left of Kings Landing before Dany heads north to her probable death. Cersei is a dead woman walking too, no way she escapes to the Rock when the final season is surely team Jon vs team Dany vs White Walkers.

..didn’t finish saying.. It looked to me as if the dragon was about to land on the Keep roof. Maybe Drogon does burn the roof of the throne room?

So happy to hear this! It’s news like this that will make the long year seem shorter

I wonder if Cersei will play victim and place blame (of all that has gone wrong) on her father to get in good with Daenerys. Obviously Tyrion wouldnt allow it but I suspect it wont be as simple/easy as Cersei being defeated by D’s army and her running off to Casterly Rock. Cersei is too conniving to let it all slip away.

Sorry my phone is being difficult above should say need not need .

I don’t think Cersei will have any interest in “getting in good” with Daenerys. I think Cersei will see her as the younger, more beautiful queen, and with the added element of seeing Tyrion by Dany’s side, will go even further off the deep-end.

The Riverrun stuff is likely for Arya’s storyline. Looks like she is heading south, not north.

Hmmm…. I don’t recall seeing any hill in shots so far of KL. Where would this dragonpit be?

Roocat: Heck, Cersei may not have her head at that point ….

to wrap his hand around her throat to choke her. 😀 Hopefully by the end of Season 7. Praying hard for a Cersei-less Season 8.

Jonsnowed: before Dany heads north to her probable death.

How north do you think she will go? I hope only as north as the Trident. North of that will be ably handled by the Northerners.

If Cersei does end up fleeing to Casterly Rock, I hope it’s to find it already in Tyrion’s hands. A reckoning there would be just as good as one in King’s Landing, in my view. It’s not that far out of the way from Dorne, if you take the western route heading north.

It will be interesting to see what goes down when Tyrion and Jaime cross paths again – especially since the TV version has flipped the book version and made Jaime murderously furious toward Tyrion instead of vice versa. Maybe someone will spill the beans to Jaime about who really poisoned Joffrey, and there will be reconciliation.

Dumb question with probably a dozen or so intelligent answers: if the Dragonpit is in ruins what would Dany be doing there?

I’m not too thrilled if the dragons end up being penned into the dragon pit. We already know confining dragons hinders their growth.

I’m intrigued by the filming in Riverrun. Who could be involved?

I wonder if Edmure still has a role to play. Wasn’t Jaime’s deal that he and his heir would be taken as hostages to Casterly Rock? But that seems like the sort of thing that could happen offscreen. Would still be nice to see some more work from Tobias Menzies, even if his significance is mostly played out.

My guess would’ve been the Brotherhood, but they seem to be heading North. Maybe Arya runs into Nymeria and leads her pack to finish off the rest of the squabbling Frey heirs? A scene like that would certainly justify Maisie’s kvelling on Twitter.

This is great news, Dany will make it to KL in season 7.

Cersai retreating, or absconding, to Casterly Rock on the advice of her new ally Euron Greyjoy, followed by a massive land and sea battle, is my pet theory of the week. TGIF! 😉

Daenerys in King’s Landing? Good. Hopefully Cersei blows her up real good.

Yay! It’s time to play the how-totally-wide-of-the-mark-can-I-be? speculation game 😀 Based entirely on what we saw in S6: if Arya is at Riverrun and apparently able to wander around freely, albeit with that serving girl’s face on, she would surely find out that Edmure is still captive and help him escape. We’ve already seen the Frey army are rubbish and the Lannister army are presumably back at KL, or very near to it. Add the confusion of Walder and his most obvious heirs suddenly being dead and, if Edmure can get the Blackfish’s apparently-freed-unharmed-and-much-more-capable men back together, they can presumably retake Riverrun fairly easily. Or am I missing something here? 🤔 Entirely possible as I just thought woo-hoo filming news I’m gonna leap in like an idiot with a comment 😀

Firannion, Just seen your comment. In ep10 I thought Walder said that Edmure was still in the dungeon. I assumed he meant at the Twins but am I confusing myself here? I need to rewatch and pay more attention but there were so many things going on I couldn’t take it all in!

Ahh! Exciting news!! 😀 Damn I almost went to that town when I was in Seville last year (to see where Dorne was filmed, obviously, and other nice things) 😉

I’m intrigued- we never see the dragonpit in wide scale landscape shots of King’s Landing, wonder how it will look!

In the books, yes, Jaime does order that Edmure and the pregnant Roslin are to be taken to Casterly Rock as hostages. In the show, Walder Frey tells Jaime in episode ten that Edmure has been returned to the dungeons (presumably those at The Twins) as it would be bad form for him to kill his daughter’s husband.

Walder Frey said that Edmure was back in the dungeon during his conversation with Jaime in the finale, so it’s probable that Jaime reneged on his deal to take Edmure and his family to Casterly Rock.

I don’t think the river lords would follow Edmure again anyway, after he conceded Riverrun to the Freys to save himself and got the Blackfish killed.

I think to revisit Riverrun could also feel like retreading old ground, especially so soon after the siege scenes.

Although the thought of Arya, backed by the Brotherhood, leading a popular rebellion against the weak remaining Freys in the Riverlands does sound appealing. Arya is, after all, the daughter of Catelyn Tully.

I think Arya coming back into contact with the Brotherhood, the Hound, possibly Brienne and quite likely Melisandre is on the cards. I don’t think Arya has any role in the North right now, unless she’s going to turn up and kill Littlefinger. And she may be a bit surplus to requirements in King’s Landing too with Cersei and Jaime’s drama going on and Daenerys heading their way.

So the producers might have to find her something to do in the Riverlands for some of next season.

Lulus Mum, I’m just totally confusing myself now about whether the Frey pie action was at RR or the Twins? Where ever it was I thought Edmure was in the dungeon there so Arya could free him, he could regroup the Blackfish’s army and take back RR whether there are Freys there or not. It’s too hot here I can’t think straight 🙁 Just kill some more people I don’t like and I’ll be happy! 🙂

I’m just totally confusing myself now about whether the Frey pie action was at RR or the Twins?

The Twins. A picture of it can be seen when Walder begins his speech (“Hear me Roar!”).

Thanks, Hilly one. I thought so but then began to doubt myself. I don’t do well in hot weather 🙁 That makes my idea even more plausible to me, as most Freys will be at the Twins in a state of confusion and presumably BF’s army stayed in the RR area (not sure how near to each other they are?). Which means it’s highly likely the show will do something else entirely and my suggestion is not remotely correct. If you wanna avoid spoilers look at what I think might happen and you’ll find the outcome is completely wrong at least 9 times out of 10! 😉

Ahh, I’ve missed this! I’ve been in a Drag Race K-hole all day so it’s awesome to emerge and find this great news!
