'Game of Thrones' season 8: Melisandre returns one last time

In the grand scheme of things in “Game of Thrones” season 8, Melisandre (Carice van Houten) may have a very small role to play, but the character has to return one last time to do something important. Although filming details are scarce, with little leaks this time around, a new report confirms that Houten is currently back on set.

According to a report by Fansided, Houten recently posted a picture of her driving at night but later took it down. Cast members of the show are under strict orders not to post pictures of their locations, especially when they're from cities where the series is filming. Houten’s picture seems to give a clue.

The actress was driving on the left side, which is the norm in the UK. The signboard in the picture appears to reveal her location to be close to Belfast, the headquarters of the series. She may have been driving to the spot where filming is currently taking place.

According to the report, Houten may be filming scenes at Linen Mills Studio, just some distance away from where the picture appears to have been taken. Scenes of Riverrun, Winterfell and the Three-eyed Raven’s cave have been filmed at this location. Where fans will find Melisandre next season remains to be seen. The following segment of the article contains spoilers from season 7.

In season 7, Melisandre appeared briefly. She told Lord Varys (Conleth Hill) that she will return to Westeros one last time, but she didn’t reveal her purpose. What she did confirm is that she will die there, just like Varys.

How will Melisandre die in “Game of Thrones” season 8? One possibility is that she will be murdered by Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), who promised to kill the Red Woman for taking her friend Gendry (Joe Dempsie) away.
