'Game Of Thrones' season 7 spoilers: Stark reunion in the works

Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark) and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) were seen on set together, although it is not known yet if the two would jointly film scenes. The on-screen brother and sister were not wearing their costumes.
Bran and Arya have not shared scenes together since the first season. They were separated when Arya moved to King’s Landing with their father Ned and older sister Sansa, while Bran was left in Winterfell to nurse an injury.
The photo, which was originally posted on Watchers on the Wall, may signify that the two Stark siblings have been filming scenes jointly. The photographer confirmed to Winter is Coming that the pictures were taken on Sept. 23 at Linen Mills Studio at Banbridge.
Other cast members who were caught on camera that same day were Aiden Gillen (Petyr Baelish), Kit Harrington (Jon Snow), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) and returning fan favourite Bella Ramsay (Lyanna Mormont), who debuted on the show last season as the tough little lady of Bear Island.
While these images do not necessarily mean that all of these characters would share the screen together, they can justify the anticipation that a Stark reunion is indeed probable.
The first episode of “Game of Thrones” season 7 will air in June 2017, breaking away from the traditional April premiere date. The season will also consist of only seven episodes, shortening their usual number of ten. The HBO series’ end is in sight as the eighth season was confirmed to be the last.
