** Spoilers for season seven of Game of Thrones below **

Thanks to some pesky press photographers, numerous Game of Thrones cast members have been spotted filming across the globe.

In Belfast, the likes of Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne), and Liam Cunningham (Davos) were all seen together. An actor previously thought to be playing Sophie Turner’s (Sansa Stark) stunt double was also photographed with them, yet has since been identified as a completely new character.

Then, Richard Rycroft, who played Maester Wolkan in seasons five and six, was later spotted on set, as was Bella Ramsey AKA the little Lord Lyanna Mormont. Soon after, Arya actor Maisie Williams was spotted wearing a Northern outfit sharing a make-up trailer with Isaac Hempstead-Wright, who plays Bran.

More exciting news came when Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) were spotted shooting a scene together for the first time in the show’s history. Gendry actor Joe Dempsie has also been spotted filming scenes using his father’s huge war-hammer.

Here’s come the most exciting news of all, though. And, this is serious, serious spoiler territory for everyone invested in the show.

Still here? Well, Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow have been pictured filming a scene together on the coast of Gaztelugatxe in Basque Country.

That’s right: Emilia Clark and Kit Harrington have been filming various scenes together for the first time ever on Game of Thrones. Exactly where in Westeros the meeting is taking place remains unclear.

Watchers on the Wall found the photos while reiterating rumours Daenerys and Jon will team up this season to take on both Cersei and the White Walkers. Will there actually be a happy ending?

Meanwhile, in more definite Game of Thrones news, two more British actors have joined the show’s already huge cast.
