AceShowbiz - With "Game of Thrones" having surpassed the book, fans are kept in the dark about what will happen in the next season of the hit HBO series. New spoiler, however, has revealed plot details surrounding one of the key characters on the show, Daenerys Targaryen.
According to fansite Watchers on the Wall, Dany will visit the Dragonpit in the upcoming season 7. In the "A Song of Ice and Fire" books, the Dragonpit is a massive old building on a hill in King's Landing. A hundred years before the events on the show, the Targaryens kept their dragons there. After the dragons died, the building was destroyed with only the ruins remaining.
An interesting point from this spoiler is that it means Dany has arrived in King's Landing in season 7. It's still unknown where the particular scene will be filmed, but one filming location, the Roman ruins called Italica found in Santiponce, Seville, could be the place where the Dragonpit set is built.
Pre-production for season 7 has begun in Northern Ireland and some of the cast members have returned to Belfast. A fan recently shared on Instagram a picture with Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams in the city, while Isaac Hempstead-Wright posted a tweet on Friday, August that hinted he's also in Belfast. Another fan took a snap with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau around the area.
Amazing evening of illusions at @openhousefest. I've missed you Northern Ireland. @Aimee_P_R

"Game of Thrones" season 7 will not air until summer 2017 and will only consist of seven episodes. Commenting on the shortened season, Maisie Williams recently told Variety, "It sucks for the audience because they love the episodes, but what we'll never do on this show is drag it out, and I'm so thrilled about that."
She added, "Too many shows start out about making a great show, and by Season 6 it's about making money and all they want to do is write more episodes and make more money. This show makes a lot of money, and it would be easy for HBO to be like 'we're gonna do four more seasons and we're gonna extend them to 12 episodes.' I really respect David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] for holding their ground and for HBO to be like 'no... we're gonna tell this story and we're gonna end it and that'll be final."
