Game Of Thrones: 25 Key Details You Need To Know & Remember For Season 8

17. Who Is At (Or Headed To) Winterfell

Game of Thrones Arya Sansa Winterfell

While Cersei is staying put in King's Landing, just about everyone else is headed for Winterfell. Already there we have Sansa, Arya, Bran, Sam, Gilly, Brienne, and Podrick. Soon to be joining them are Jon, Dany, and their cohorts, including Tyrion, Davos, Jorah, Grey Worm, Missandei, Varys.

On top of that, Jaime will also be arriving at the castle early in Season 8 as well, ready to keep his promise and fight for the living against the dead. We can also expect Beric, Tormund, and Eddison Tollett to arrive there as well, with it fully confirmed that the first two did indeed make it out of the Season 7 finale alive.

There are far too many reunions and other permutations of characters to count, including many Stark reunions, Jaime running into Brienne and Tyrion again, seeing Bran for the first time since departing Winterfell in Season 1, Tyrion meeting his (ex-) wife Sansa again, and more besides.

The Dragonpit scene in Season 7 was the biggest coming together of characters we'd seen so far, but everyone joining up at Winterfell looks like it could well top it.
