"Game of Thrones" is one season away from making its final statement. What contributed to its fast ascent was a narrative plot, hard to predict, at least in the beginning. Ned Stark's death at the end of Season 1 remains one of the most shocking and unexpected deaths in a TV series.
Now, as the Season 8 is expected to put a final cap on the events, death is again the common ground as the Night King and the Army of the Dead are about to invade Westeros. Thus, some of the main characters won't survive until the end and below you'll find a short list of people that may be killed during the season.
Although nothing comes as a certain bet, the next names have a predilection for death.
The entire House Lannister might go extinct
Once the most powerful family of the Realm, House Lannister is facing extinction. With no heirs on their side, Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion may not live to witness the ending statement of the narrative plot. Cersei Lannister seems quite convinced that she is entitled to keep her grip on the Iron Throne.
With no allies other than Euron Greyjoy and the financial support from the Iron Bank of Braavos, Cersei will betray any deal or person just to ensure she remains the ruler of King's Landing. She is blind enough to ignore the threat coming down from the North.
Jaime Lannister has put himself in a living purgatory.
No longer supporting his twin sister, he is seen walking away by himself with no solid future goal. He may try to pledge allegiance to Daenerys Targaryen or Jon Snow in what might be another selfish attempt to save his own life.
Tyrion Lannister, an intriguing character who enjoys a dangerous livelihood, is the last Lannister representative on the list.
His private meeting with Cersei at Dragonpit may be cause for a treason allegation later. In her rush to power, Daenerys might even ignore all his past counseling and put him give him the death penalty.
Arya Stark and Jon Snow have a special relationship with death
A "Game of Thrones" character with an interesting evolution, Arya Stark, is no longer a child.
It's been a while since she put her innocence to rest, turning herself into a vigilante type character. She has her own blacklist and it seems like her entire existence revolves around finding and killing off the names therein. Basically, she has fully embraced death and much earlier than all her peers.
Jon Snow, the character that may make-or-break the entire narrative of the Season 8 is another candidate on the morbid list. He has met death once and only a shady black magic trick brought him back. He is also a Targaryen descendant and the true heir of the Iron Throne which does nothing but put a huge pin on his back.
