Game Of Thrones Season 4 Spoilers: 9 Characters Who Will Probably Die

6. Someone Entirely New

HBO might well think that fans of the show are a little too familiar with what will be happening in the forthcoming season, which could spell disaster for a character who doesn't meet their end in A Storm Of Swords. The show has already moved away from the source material in the past, though not too many times in terms of major character deaths, and it's fairly obvious that there's little to suggest it would be beyond the show-makers to send a major career to an early (or completely unprecedented) grave. Method Presumably something shocking and bloody, if past examples are anything to go by. Nobody dies of old-age in Westeros, after all. The Impact HBO are as committed to AMC in their agenda to shock fans, which was achieved noticeably when they managed to take the Red Wedding - the shocking high-point of the first half of the third book - and make it even more shocking.
