'Game of Thrones' Season 7 Spoilers: What We Know So Far Rounded Up for Your Convenience
Game of Thrones fans are not exactly the most patient of audiences.
Each year, when production on a new season begins at the show's various locations around the world—including its homebase in Belfast, Northern Ireland—pictures and spoilers quickly emerge on the internet.
Spoilers aren't for everybody, so if you'd rather be surprised when GoT returns for Season 7 Sunday, exit this page now.
For viewers who are spoiler-inclined, here is a comprehensive guide to the spoilers that have been reported so far for Season 7. But be warned: Kit Harington (Jon Snow) revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night that the cast and crew filmed some fake scenes to throw off spoiler hounds.
- Starks reunited. Arya (Maisie Williams) and Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) will return to Winterfell, presumably reuniting them with elder sister Sansa (Sophie Turner) and possibly Jon Snow.
- Jon Snow is set for a reunion of his own with his former friend-turned-Stark betrayer, Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen). It gets physical between these two—well, it's mostly Jon just kicking Theon's ass.
- Earlier this week, GoT costume designer Michele Clapton confirmed Jon will meet Daenerys Targaryen for the first time, as well as a meeting with Queen Cersei.
- Gendry lives. King Robert Baratheon's last surviving bastard was last seen in Season 3. He'll be back on screens this year; actor Joe Dempsie was seen filming scenes last year with Davos Seaworth actor Liam Cunningham and Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister.
- A big battle at sea is expected to air this season, pitting Euron Greyjoy's fleet against his niece and nephew Yara (Gemma Whelan) and Theon Greyjoy's fleet. Set pictures show a victorious Euron (Pilou Asbæk) on horseback with a chained Yara, Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma) and Tyene Sand (Rosabell Laurenti Sellers) following behind him. So, it seems he will win the war and hold them captive.
- A Lannister must pay her debts. The Iron Bank of Braavos has helped fund the Baratheon-Lannister kingdom in Westeros for quite some time and the crown has accrued a large amount of debt. According to website Watchers on the Wall, that debt will be called in this season when bank representative Tycho Nestoris (played by Sherlock 's Mark Gatiss) returns to GoT and pays Cersei a visit in King's Landing to request the monarchy repays its debts.
- Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) was sent on a mission last season by his queen, Daenerys, to cure his grayscale illness. That will reportedly happen this season, thanks to a meeting with maester-in-training Samwell Tarly (John Bradley).
- There is rumored to be a huge scene featuring nearly all of the key players in GoT coming together including Jon, Dany, Cersei, Jaime, Euron, the Mountain, Brienne of Tarth, Podrick, the Hound, Bronn, Jorah, Missandei, Varys and Theon. Whatever this scene is, it is the biggest convention of GoT characters ever.
- This season's equivalent of the "Battle of the Bastards" will take place in Episode 4, according to WinterisComing.net. It'll apparently be between the Lannister army and the Targaryen army. Which queen will reign?
- And in Episode 7, expect another big cliffhanger to end the season, Arya actor Maisie Williams revealed in January. That will only make the wait for Season 8 even more agonizing.
Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO.
