8 Game Of Thrones Characters Who Probably Won’t Survive Season 6

With Season 6, Game of Thrones has become more unpredictable than ever before. The HBO series infamous for indiscriminately offing lead characters is entering its final stretch, meaning all bets are off and absolutely anybody can be killed this year. In fact, Sunday night’s premiere already got the ball rolling, shocking us with the sudden demise of three heroes: Prince Doran, Areo Hotah, and Trystane Martell. Expect many more citizens of Westeros to bite the dust in the forthcoming weeks, especially considering it’s time the writers start axing superfluous characters and setting the end game in motion.

Cersei is ready to burn the whole damn kingdom to the ground when we meet her in the season 6 premiere. The city is being taken over by the Faith Militant, she’s on trial for adultery, her daughter has been murdered, and the Tyrells are ready to pounce at any moment. It looks like we may witness a slight return to power for Cersei in the early part of season 6, but once Tommen is inevitably murdered, all hell will break lose. It’s going to be an absolute bloodbath.

Assuming Maggy the Frog’s prophecy is correct, Cersei is slated to die at the hands of her Valonqar, or “little brother.” She always assumed this would be Tyrion, but he is going to be stuck in Meereen for at least another season.

It would be a perfect bit of Game of Thrones style irony for the Valonqar to be Jaime. Although they’re twins, Jaime is technically a few minutes younger than his sister. The Kingslayer may murder Cersei in order to once again save King’s Landing from a mad ruler intent on burning the whole place down.

There’s still some question as to if it will happen this year or next, but assuming Tommen perishes soon, season 6 might just be remembered as the downfall of Cersei Lannister.
