“Game of Thrones” Season 8 will be the final bow of the HBO’s television adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. However, as the 69-year-old novelist is not yet done with the franchise’s sixth novel, “The Winds of Winter,” the seventh and eighth chapters’ storylines are handled by the creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. Of course, still with the help of Martin.
As the television show is known for being bound to secrecy, fans are excited to find out how things will roll down next season. Therefore, there are a lot of assumptions and theories swirling about the series’ ending.
A prediction about the Stark family
In a report by Games Radar, a number of editors revealed how they think “Game of Thrones” Season 8 will end.
According to an entertainment editor, Lauren O’Callaghan, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) might be the one to sit on the Iron Throne Lauren believes that after Daenerys and her nephew/lover Jon Snow (Kit Harington) learned that they are actually blood-related, that it won’t be a big deal for them.
However, it won’t still be a happy ending for the couple. Jon Snow might be sacrificing himself to stop the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) from his evil doings. He might be set to face his death this time.
Dany will then attack the King’s Landing with Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) by her side and conquer the city. Jaime badly wants to find his sister/lover Cersei (Lena Headey), who will be in labor and might die while giving birth. Unfortunately, he will see her too late to be saved.
Sansa (Sophie Turner) will then become the Queen of the North, replacing her dead brother, Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) will make his way North of The Wall to become a tree, while Arya (Maisie Williams) will go on her own way.
The assumption about the Cleagane Bowl
Another assumption from executive editor, Andy Hartcup, revealed that Daenerys’ dragons might be all dead.
The Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea and Jon Snow will successfully defeat the White Walkers after an epic dragon battle. However, with their success, a lot of major characters die, along with her remaining two fire-breathing creatures.
Daenerys will then rule the Seven Kingdoms with her hand, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage). Jaime is going to sacrifice himself for the new queen to complete his character’s arc. The much-awaited Cleagane Bowl might finally happen as The Hound (Rory McCann) and The Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) are going to face each other. Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) will then intervene to save The Hound.
