Another casting call is for a ‘rough and ready’ sailor, who understands the sea like no one else. It’s a strong hint that this has to do with Theon Greyhjoy’s mission to rescues his sister Yara, which clearly means we will be seeing more of the Ironborn.
You also have some small roles for people the North who will join Lady Sansa Stark in the coming days. A straightforward, honest farmer, a Northern sentry and a sexy, confident girl will be seen playing a small yet memorable role opposite the lead.

And that’s not it, joining the team will be two guards, who will be shooting in Spain with many leading characters this November. It’s another hint that the show could step outside the boundaries of Westeros.
We already know that the GOT bosses are leaving no stone unturned to keep the finale of the show a secret and hence plan to shoot multiple endings. HBO’s president of programming Casey Bloys, shared, “Because when you’re shooting something, people know. So they’re going to shoot multiple endings so that there’s no real definitive answer until the end.”

Well, these are some serious speculations about the last and the most awaited season. There are few things we are totally sure about such as Jon Snow aka Aegon Targaryen finally learning the truth about his birth and it’s going to make things very awkward for him and Daenerys, now that they are romantically involved.
And now that the wall is gone and the White Walkers have an ice dragon, Jon and Danny will need all the help they can get to defeat them.
