'Game of Thrones' season 8: King's Landing set nears completion
New pictures of the production set of “Game of Thrones” season 8 have surfaced online. The pictures are that from Titanic Studios, where the King’s Landing set is nearing completion. Reports suggest that some major action sequences are planned at this location.
New additions to the massive set of King’s Landing are two towers, according to a report by Watchers on the Wall. These towers were reportedly built on the ground then placed on set using cranes. They will be seen on both sides of the city gate.
The report notes that the actors will be interacting with the set extensively in season 8. According to a previous report by Watchers on the Wall, the location will see some interesting scenes. The following segment of the article contains spoilers.
King’s Landing will finally fall under attack. This is why the producers are constructing actual sets this time around, rather than relying on computer graphics.
The whole city will burn to the ground, something that has already been foreshadowed in the visions of Daenerys (Emilia Clarke). That is why the set at Titanic Studios is so massive, showing different sections of the city that will be consumed by flames.
It is not clear whose dragon will be involved in the attack. Daenerys has so far refrained from attacking the city to save lives. The other possibility is that the Night King will march with his army after defeating Jon Snow (Kit Harington), then use zombie Viserion to burn the city, just like how it destroyed the Wall.
Previous leaks have shown that Jon Snow will travel to meet Cersei. Will the queen have the King in the North killed and earn Daenerys’ wrath?
