It’s all about to kick off harder than an episode of The Jerry Springer Show when Game of Thrones season eight lands next year, with the promise that Jon Snow will discover he’s been sleeping with his auntie.
Season seven left us with the Bastard of Winterfell and the Mother of Dragons finally succumbing to their back and forth flirting for a romantic night of passion aboard a ship to the White Harbour, with Tyrion Lannister creepily listening in outside.
But while that was all playing out, we were learning that Jon Snow was the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, raising all sorts of predictions for season eight and revealing that Jon and Daenerys are related.
But who will be the one to tell them? Whoever they are, better them than us.
Well actually, Jon might end up finding all of this out from The Night King, of all people, who now has a dead dragon.
Remember when Daenerys was placed on a pyre in season six but remained completely unscathed (don’t try at home)? She subsequently proved that Targaryens are immune to fire and thus Jon will also share the same power.
Only, he’s yet to really be confronted with fire, but should he be attacked with the flames from the army of the dead’s new beast, Jon’s lineage may become clear.
Oh…
George RR Martin recently announced that Rhagar Taragryan knew the impending war between the living and the dead was coming and thus became the catalyst behind his mission to unite the Seven Kingdoms.
In turn, the Game of Thrones author basically confirmed a long-standing theory that Jon Snow is Azor Ahai – aka The Prince That Was Promised – and will likely be the light to end the dark in season eight.
Game of Thrones returns to Sky Atlantic and HBO in April 2019.
