What Can Fans Expect On Final Season Of ‘Game Of Thrones?’

“Game of Thrones” fans are eager for any small tidbits they can pick up on the final season of “Game of Thrones,” and while they still have to wait for an undisclosed date in 2019 to watch new episodes, one of the show’s stars has graciously revealed a potential hint about one element of the final season.

While attending the premiere of his new movie, “I Think We’re Alone Now,” Peter Dinklage, who portrays Tyrion Lannister on the hit HBO series, revealed a small detail about an upcoming battle sequence that will be on the show’s final season, hinting that it was bigger and better than any other similar scene the show has featured—including the epic Season 6 “Battle of the Bastards” and Season 7’s “Loot Train Attack.”

“Oh my god, and then some,” he told a reporter from The Belfast Telegraph at the time, after he was asked if there would be battles which topped the famous Season 6 fight. “You are in for it. Truly.”

His comment comes after a huge battle had previously been teased, one which took a reported 55 days to shoot.

Whether or not this is the battle he hinted at, or Tyrion participates in it, remains to be seen. However, there have also been rumblings that the fan-favorite character could be killed off in the show’s final season.

A potential “leak” has emerged (compliments of Winter is Coming), that states Tyrion would be killed in the final season because he would be tried for treason in the Dragonpit. In addition, while celebrating their Creative Arts Emmy win, members of the show’s production team were forced to cover a slip by one of their own, which indicated there’s a chance Tyrion will die.

“And we can’t tell you in what episode Tyrion dies,” Steven Kullback said following the win. “…or doesn’t.”

As for anything that’s confirmed, fans will just have to keep waiting. “Game of Thrones” is expected to return to HBO sometime in 2019.
