Game of Thrones fans are quick to hop on any speculation as we enter season eight, even if they’re going on a photo from Peter Dinklage behind-the-scenes at a football match.
The Tyrion Lannister actor posed alongside some of the key players still standing in Westeros but naturally the 49-year-old’s 3.6 million followers’ immediate attention went to the heroes missing…
They could have taken a toilet break, they might have just wanted to do anything other than watch the footie, but if you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the absence of Kit Harington, Lena Headey and Emilia Clarke can only mean one thing: Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and Cersei Lannister are brown bread.
Peter simply captioned the snap with a black flame – read into that what you will – but terrified fans have a lot of concerns.
‘Where is the king in the north?’ cried one Game of Thrones theorist, which was followed by: ‘So Cersei and Jon Snow both die in the first episode.’
A third leapt to a giant conclusion that is ‘everyone who dies next season’, which was echoed when someone else wrote: ‘Are these the only ones remaining alive at the end.’
‘Okay wtf is going on here? What does this mean?’ asked a particularly panicked Peter supporter.
Right now, we’re guessing it means not all of the cast were as bothered by the match, and honestly, same.
Thankfully, there is now less than one month until we’re reunited with the Game of Thrones gang – almost two years since we waved Jon and Daenerys goodbye to get stuck into their incestuous relationship.
We have a lot of thoughts about Jon and Dany’s unconventional romance, which you can read here.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO and Sky Atlantic on April 14 while you can currently stream seasons one to seven on NOW TV.
