“Some of the most iconic scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed at Linen Mill Studios. Our fans will soon have an opportunity to visit and see the work of the show’s incredible crew in the museum setting it deserves,” Jeff Peters, HBO vice president of licensing and retail, said in an interview, as reported by Indian Express.

Along with the tour of iconic sets, the attraction will also feature a tour of the costumes and props and a visit to the makeup and prosthetics shop.

Although it has been more than a year, since the series bid its goodbye, fans are constantly looking for some new information, including sequels, prequels and new books from author George RR Martin. The news of the new attraction has been met with joy of fans. The series has been the inspiration for many restaurants, pubs, cafes and many destination hotels too.

As of now, there is no official opening date for the new “GoT” themed attraction, as the project is still in the very early stages. However, a public announcement is expected to happen within this year.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Spoilers: Jon Snow’s Birth Name Revealed?

Well, there is tons of “Game of Thrones” season 7 rumors and fan theories floating around, but a certain potentially explosive news involving Jon Snow is now in the rounds.

[Spoiler Alert!]

Last season, the fans got to know that Snow was not Ned Stark’s bastard son, but Ned’s sister Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen’s son. And now, as per a Reddit post with an image of what is reportedly Empire magazine’s July 2017 issue, Snow’s real name is Jaehaerys Targaryen, Winter is Coming reported.

Whoa! There is no proof as to if this piece of information is legit, but if it turns out to be true, then apparently one of the best-kept secrets in the “Game of Thrones” series has just been revealed.

As for the name, it is an old Targaryen family name, to be specific, Snow will be Jaehaerys III, should this prove to be true. The very first Jaehaerys, mostly known as Jaehaerys the Wise, Jaehaerys the Conciliator, was the longest reigning Targaryen king with a period of 55 years. He was also the fourth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne.

Jaehaerys II was the sixteenth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne He died at the age of 37 and was the father of the Mad King Aerys Targaryen. Jaehaerys II would be the great grandfather of Snow, if this turns true.

However, this goes well in line with the long-running fan theory that Snow is a Targaryen and the legendary “Prince That Was Promised.” Chances are that Snow’s very existence may be the fruition of the prophecy received by Jaehaerys II.

Though it feels within the realms of possibility that his real name is Jaehaerys, fans will have to wait till “Game of Thrones” Season 7 or even Season 8 to know if it’s true. “GoT” will be returning to HBO on July 16, 2017.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Spoilers: Sansa & Arya To Reunite? Sansa With Baelish To Dethrone Jon Snow?

Just as the HBO’s fan-favorite fantasy series “Game of Thrones” is gearing to film the seventh season, actress Sophie Turner has teased the fans with what she expects for her character of Sansa in the upcoming season.

Turner is actually expecting a reunion for Sansa with her sister Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams, as Arya has finally stepped foot in Westeros. Though the sisters did not get along or even like each other originally, it is predicated that the two heiresses of Winterfell will be back together in the next season. However, Turner is not sure what will happen and asked her fans to not get their hopes high, just with the “Game of Thrones” Season 7 spoilers.

“I feel like it has to happen, but at the same time, if it did happen, would it be too obvious? Would it be too much of a good thing? Nothing that satisfactory happens on the show, because it’s ‘Game of Thrones,’ they want to make it dark and depressing and that’s what makes it amazing,” she explained, according to Vine Report.

There are a lot of speculated theories of what will happen in the “Game of Thrones” Season 7. As per the rumors, Sansa will also turn alliance with Petyr Baelish, played by Aidan Gillen, and pledge allegiance to dethrone her half-brother Jon Snow, played by Kit Harrington, who holds the North in unison. Nevertheless, Jon is yet to know his true identity and it’s up to Bran Stark, played by Issac Hempstead Wright, to reveal it.

“To me, I think what will happen now is that it appears Bran will head south to Winterfell,” Hempstead-Wright said in an interview with The Independent, about what might be his character’s next step in the upcoming season.

“Game of Thrones” Season 7 will air sometime in 2017.
