As mentioned, Game of Thrones has a rep for killing off anyone and everyone, which dates right back to the shocking death of Ned Stark in Season 1. That's not entirely true, though, as there are some characters who are too important to the plot of the show to actually be killed off.

Heading into Season 7, this stands as the five characters George R.R. Martin himself would always survive: Jon Snow, Bran and Arya Stark, Tyrion Lannister, and Daenerys Targaryen. They are untouchable - even with a slightly reduced role of Tyrion of late, he's a crucial part of the series. They will, in their own way, form the spine of Season 8 and the show-ending battles to come.

Then, of course, there's the enemy they have to face. With another season left, and the White Walkers unlikely to make it into Westeros 'til the very end of this one, there's zero chance of the Night King going anywhere yet.

Prediction: All live, obviously.
