Fans of HBO’s Game of Thrones have been eagerly anticipating the first meeting between the recently anointed King in the North, Jon Snow (Kit Harington), and the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), since the characters were introduced in the show’s first episode over five years ago, and in next year’s penultimate season, it’s finally going to happen.
A recent set video and some leaked images featured members of both Jon and Dany’s respective entourages, which was a pretty strong indication that an alliance between the two might be on the cards – but now we have photographic evidence that ice and fire will definitely be joining forces.
[zergpaid]The pics are a little on the blurry side, but they clearly show Jon and Dany engaged in conversation, while Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) sticks close to her queen. We don’t know exactly what events will lead to this meeting or even if their alliance will last (the Iron Throne only seats one, after all), but one would assume the dual threat of The Lannisters and the encroaching White Walkers would be enough to persuade them to work together… for the time being, at least.
All will become clear when Game of Thrones returns for a shorter seventh season next summer, but in the meantime, you can check out this breakdown of some of the new characters that’ll be introduced.
