Fans are aware that more characters will die in the episodes of “Game of Thrones” season 8. Most likely, Cersei (Lena Headey) is on top of any fan’s death prediction list and a fan theory offers several possibilities how it will unfold. Meanwhile, what are the chances of Ned Stark (Sean Bean) and Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) appearing in the final installment?

Reddit user Laser-circus recently shared an interesting observation of the previous deaths that occurred in the HBO TV series. And it gave other fans a clue on how their favorite and hated characters could die in “Game of Thrones” season 8.

Laser-circus explained that many, if not all, of the characters suffered poetic and ironic deaths in the previous seasons. Ned was beheaded the same way he executed a man in the first episode. Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) was killed with the dagger he intended to use on Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright). Olenna (Diana Rigg) assassinated Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) with a poison and died (though less harshly) from the same cause. Sansa (Sophie Turner) fed Ramsay (Iwan Rheon) to the hounds he himself trained to kill. From here, fans predicted how Cersei is going to die in “Game of Thrones” season 8.

Cersei is one of the biggest evils in the entire series but no one can question her love for her children. And fans suggest that it will be an epic irony if she dies from a miscarriage with her and Jamie’s (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) fourth child in “Game of Thrones” season 8.

Notably, however, Cersei was prophesied to have only three children, so giving birth to a fourth child in “Game of Thrones” season 8 would break Maggy the Frog’s omen, which has been accurate so far. This further fueled fans’ theory that Cersei will die even before the fourth child is born.

Cersei plans to let the White Walkers wipe out all her enemies and it somehow equates to being a “Mad Queen.” Jamie, the only love of her life now, will likely get on his Kingslayer mode and execute Cersei in “Game of Thrones” season 8.

In related news, Sean Bean previously confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that there was a cast reunion held in Belfast. It fueled speculations that he and other actors, like Jason Momoa, were called back to join for a cameo in “Game of Thrones” season 8 finale.

Bean was asked in the interview, published on Oct. 17, about the last time he met with his former “Game of Thrones” co-stars. The actor said, “Last time was about four weeks ago in Belfast. Conan O’Brien did this thing. It was the last episode of [‘Game of Thrones’ season 8], so we all got together. … They decided to get all the characters together for a bit for this big show in Belfast and he kind of hosted the evening.”

Photos of Momoa with showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff taken at the reunion event also circulated online. Does this mean a Khal Drogo-Dany (Emilia Clarke) reunion will happen in “Game of Thrones” season 8?

Fans are still clueless when “Game of Thrones” season 8 will premiere. At the moment, HBO has only promised a 2019 release date window.
